Gold Series Subwoofer Cable, from $39.00 →Totem Dreamcatcher Sub 8″ Powered Subwoofer – Maple
This Totem Dreamcatcher powered subwoofer is a beautifully crafted compact sub from Totem Acoustics of Montreal, Canada, finished in a stunning Maple veneer that makes it one of the most visually distinctive subwoofers at this price point.
The Dreamcatcher sub is built on Totem’s signature monocoque lock-mitered cabinet with full maple veneer applied inside and out — an unusual construction approach that significantly reduces cabinet resonance and gives the enclosure an almost furniture-grade quality. The 8-inch driver is powered by a 200-watt internal amplifier with variable volume, phase, and crossover frequency adjustments, giving meaningful flexibility for integration with a wide range of main speakers and room configurations. This particular unit has undergone extensive amplifier board service by two qualified technicians, including our senior tech, and has been returned to full working order. It performs quietly and cleanly at modest volumes and sounds genuinely excellent in a small room such as a home office or bedroom system. It is not recommended for medium or large rooms, nor for listeners intending to play at higher volumes — at elevated output levels, performance falls short of what a fully healthy example would deliver. For the right application, however, it is a wonderful, room-friendly sub with real Totem musicality. Cosmetically it is in very good condition throughout.
Key features and specifications:
8-inch active driver, front-firing, sealed enclosure
Internal amplifier: 200 watts
Frequency response: 30 Hz – 150 Hz
Controls: variable volume, variable phase, variable crossover frequency
Inputs: low-level RCA (line level)

Made in Canada
Dimensions and weight:
Dimensions: (Width x Height x Depth) 7.7 x 10 x 10.6 inches (195 x 255 x 270 mm)
Weight: 14.2 lbs (6.4 kg)
This Totem Dreamcatcher sub is ideally suited to a small room at moderate listening levels, where its musicality, compact footprint, and exceptional maple cabinet will be appreciated. A comparable Dreamcatcher sub in fully healthy condition would typically be listed at $395 in our inventory; we are offering this unit at $295 to reflect its recommended application, while covering it fully with our standard warranty and trade-back policy. This one is best auditioned in person where possible — local buyers are warmly encouraged to come and hear it.
Backed by Radique Audio’s 90-day warranty and our perpetual trade-back policy, you can purchase with confidence

Totem Acoustic was founded in Montreal in 1987 by designer Vince Bruzzese, and its first speaker, the Model 1 mini-monitor, made its debut at the 1989 Toronto hi-fi show. We carry Totem towers, bookshelf speakers, on-wall and surround speakers, centre channels and subwoofers. We've had more than 60 Totem listings so far. Every used Totem here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program.

Our best-selling Totem models so far: the Tribe I on-wall speaker, followed by the Dreamcatcher and the Sttaf tower.
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.

Polk Audio PSW350 10″ Front-Firing Powered Subwoofer 260W
A 10-inch front-firing Dynamic Balance woofer on a 100-watt RMS amplifier — 260 watts dynamic — in a dual-rear-ported cabinet good for 25 to 180 Hz. Speaker-level in and out, stereo line inputs and an unfiltered LFE jack, with a variable 60 to 160 Hz low-pass and a phase switch. 37 lbs, black matte. Very good cosmetic condition.
Yamaha SW-3 Active Servo Subwoofer — 10″ Woofer | Air Woofer Tec
Yamaha’s Active Servo Technology couples a negative-impedance drive amplifier to a Helmholtz resonator port — the Air Woofer opening — so the amplifier corrects the driver’s motion as it works. 100 watts into a 25 cm cone, rated down to 25 Hz, with a continuously variable 50–150 Hz high-cut at 24 dB per octave. Speaker-level and line inputs both. Very good condition.
JVC SX-PW33 Slim Tower Subwoofer — 6.5in, 100W, High-Pass Out
A tall, narrow bass column meant to stand beside a cabinet rather than in front of it — 8.25 inches across the front and unusually deep at 17, which is the trade: the depth buys back the internal volume the narrow baffle gives away, so a 6.5 inch woofer is properly loaded in a strip of floor barely wider than a hardcover book. Driven by an integrated 100 watt amplifier, with speaker-level inputs and high-pass outputs so it works with an amplifier that has no subwoofer output at all. Good condition.
