The Arro has been attributed many accolades internationally and has a worldwide following that bridges gender, economics and cultures. Their ultra slim compact design allows for flexible and varied placement possibilities making them an aesthetic room-pleasing addition. In normal applications, they have been classified as seductive, alluring and omni-directional in character.

For the attentive listener who supports the Arro with the appropriate electronics, the ensuring results almost defy the laws of physics. Bass extension that seems incredulous and holography that defies description. Their great frequency extension and exemplary harmonics blend in a phase perfect conjuction that seems to transmit the “true” essence of any musical presentation.

If you would like authentic-sounding performances where time and place seem to have no dimension of their own, experience the Arro.

"A minor miracle," is how Robert Harley described Totem's Arro, "combining extraordinary resolution, transparency, and soundstaging for the price. It is built to the same standard as mega-buck loudspeakers, but on a much smaller scale. You also get beautiful wood-veneered cabinet, not vinyl-wrap box."

About Totem Acoustics

Totem Acoustic was founded in 1987 by Vincent Bruzzese in Montreal, Canada. The new company's original mission was to develop a totally new transducer, a loudspeaker capable of reproducing a truly musical and involving performance. The goal was to provide something not currently available on the market--an affordable "soul mover" for the music lover.

The "Totem Acoustic" name was chosen as an ongoing symbolic representation of this mission and vision. The Totem represents, to the native North American people, an entity which chooses an individual and then guides that person during his or her life. Totem Acoustic is a bridge to higher musical awareness.
