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.
