Description

Totem Tribe I On-Wall Speaker – Made in Canada

High-end Totem Tribe I on-wall speakers made in Canada, offering slim, elegant styling and serious performance with patented driver technology and wide dispersion, in good cosmetic condition with magnetic grilles included.

With cutting-edge neodymium-activated woofers and a 1.25-inch fabric dome tweeter, the Tribe I delivers rich, detailed sound and impressive dynamics from a very compact, wall-friendly enclosure. Designed for both cinema and stereo applications, it offers exceptional on- and off-axis performance, making it equally suitable as a left/right, center, or surround channel in a high-quality system. The slim chassis can be used vertically or horizontally for flexible placement around screens and furniture, and the front baffle and proportions are unmistakably Totem, blending clean modern design with audiophile intent. These units are in good cosmetic condition overall, with some visible signs of use on close inspection, but they present well in typical room lighting and remain fully functional.

The Totem story

Vince Bruzzese founded Totem Acoustic in Montreal in 1987, by the company's own count. Stereophile says it burst onto the high-end scene at the 1989 Toronto show with the Model 1, a small two-way mini-monitor.

Small speakers, big reviews. Stereophile reviewed the Model 1 in the early 1990s, then the Mani-2, Tabù, Signature Model 1 and Forest. In 2009 it noted that the Model One had been in continuous production since the end of the 1980s.

Home theatre. Totem added the compact Mite and Mite-T by 1998, and later the Dreamcatcher system. Stereophile describes Totem as a Canadian manufacturer, and the company is based in Montreal.

Which Totem is which?

Model 1 family (from 1989): the Model 1, Signature Model 1 and Model One.

Mani-2: a two-way stand-mount with two woofers mounted magnet to magnet, one of them inside the cabinet, and later the Mani-2 Signature (2009).

Mite and Mite-T (by 1998): compact two-ways.

Forest (by 2001): a floorstander about three feet tall, whose lower cabinet can be filled with sand.

Other models we've handled: the Arro and Sttaf towers, the Tribe on-wall speakers, the Dreamcatcher and the Storm subwoofer.
