About the Hawk
The Totem Hawk is a soul-moving, high-caliber floorstanding speaker that combines compact design with exceptional sound quality. It features proprietary drivers engineered for phase linearity, speed, and spatial articulation, housed in an exquisitely crafted monocoque cross-braced cabinet with double-sided wood veneer and borosilicate damping. The speaker offers great bass extension and phase correctness, producing surreal holographic imaging and pure dimensional sound that envelops the listener. It includes bi-wireable gold-plated WBT terminals and advanced decoupling feet called the 'Claw' to reduce resonances. Available in various finishes including White, Mahogany, Cherry, and Black Ash, the Hawk is designed for high-end extreme performance and aesthetic compactness.
