Totem Mite Bookshelf Speakers – Mahogany Finish – Made in Canada, Serviced

The Award-Winning Totem Mite is a legendary, Made-in-Canada micro-monitor from Montreal’s celebrated Totem Acoustic — recipient of the Positive Feedback Outstanding Product Award and praised by reviewers worldwide for delivering an astonishingly wide, deep, and lifelike soundstage from a cabinet that fits in the palm of your hand.

High Fidelity Review declared the Mite “flat out performs — their small footprint belies the big sound they put out,” while Gramophone’s reviewer confessed to losing track of time during an audition, describing the sound as effortless, real, and never fatiguing. HomeTheaterHifi called them “an outstanding micro-monitor design capable of effortless musical reproduction, rivaling the best bookshelf designs.”

The Totem Mite is the product of Totem founder Vince Bruzzese’s singular philosophy: that a small speaker, properly designed, can do things no large speaker can — specifically, the kind of pinpoint, three-dimensional imaging and precise soundstage focus that emerges when cabinet diffraction and driver interference are eliminated. The 5.5-inch granulated woofer and 1-inch soft dome tweeter are crossed over at 3.2 kHz with both electrical and mechanical crossover alignment, and the borosilicate-damped, lock-mitered cabinet is virtually resonance-free. The result is a speaker that images like a miniature electrostatic — placing instruments and voices in a precise, tangible space that draws the listener in completely.

Low-impedance air core crossover coils preserve signal integrity throughout the audio band, and the solid twin-pair gold-plated binding posts allow bi-wiring for those who wish to extract every last detail. Totem recommends placement 1 to 4 feet from the rear wall and 3 to 12 feet apart — a placement range that makes them genuinely practical in a wide variety of rooms. The mahogany finish is one of Totem’s most attractive offerings — warm, rich, and beautifully crafted in a way that makes these speakers look as special as they sound.

This pair has undergone our Level One service and testing which should ensure many more years of reliable performance ahead.
