Totem Acoustic The One (Limited Edition)

Price: 129,000 Baht

The One has an unprecedented ability to capture midrange subtlety, dynamics and proper timbre without overloading. This limited run, 20th anniversary edition of the Model-1 Signature provides stirring and accurate bass response along with pinpoint imaging. Midrange reproduction is clearer and more stable, even under huge dynamic swings. Internally, the wiring metallurgy has been further optimized and the usual meticulously designed and constructed crossover work that is present in all Totem models is brought to an extreme art form in The One. No expense or development cost was spared in obtaining the most exotic and musically pleasing componentry.

The Good:  Throws out an enveloping soundstage ;  Incredible off-axis performance ;  Possess very articulate treble ;  Great midrange clarity ;  Lightning fast bass ;  Sounds great at both low and high listening volumes ;  Stunning dynamics ; Exceptional recreation of tone/timbre  ; Great aesthetics  ; Feature carefully matched internal components.

 

The Bad: Extremely fussy with regards to room placement and equipment matching ; Can sound thin in the lower treble / upper midrange when matched with the wrong type of gear ; Tend to sound their best when not placed on metal stands ; Should be used in only small to medium sized rooms.

 

The Bottom Line: ‘The One’s are fantastic little speakers that could be the perfect solution for the music lover who is tight on square footage.  While the The One’s are not the easiest speakers to work with, listeners who take the time to dial them in properly will be rewarded with great performance.
