Finally, the new design was presented by Vince Bruzzese in 2001 at the Las Vegas CES show. Listeners agreed unanimously, this was a very special and unique design! Sound was fluent; timing, rhythm, harmony… all seemed to be just right! Vince had yet again surpassed himself…

The Totem Wind is a totally unique four driver, three-way speaker system. Just as with a totem pole it has many faces and tells a story. The Wind blends a non-obtrusive, acoustically advanced design with an unparalleled ability for recreating an ambient, life-size musical representation. It extends beyond the confines of room and space. The design did take four years and as with our other designs Totem doesn’t uses computers to develop… only using human hearing, with a lot of patience and passion choosing the right components, judge the sound quality, harmonically moulding.

Technically the Wind is a high-principled product. The multiple midranges with a 3” voice coil, wrap-around neodymium magnet structure and cast frame have a accurate linear throw and allow for an incredible amount of musically informative material to transpire in space with ease. The 8.1/2” cast frame woofer is specially damped and has a high power handling with long throw characteristics.
The 1” alloy dome tweeter has a flexible linear suspension and a special low resonance chambered unit. The sound level possibilities – up to 114dB! - of this large dynamic system also facilitate large and complex musical demonstrations. Design and performance are brought forth in a flexible and manageable equilibrium.

The cabinet with it’s many faces is truly a form of art in furniture construction. The outside looks very complex but even more complex is the inside! Variable density MDF, veneered inside and outside with the most striking veneer; available in cherry, maple, mahogany and black ash; lock mitre corners improve rigidity. Multilayer borosilicate damping to avoid energy to accumulate on the surface. With this revolutionary cabinet it’s possible to achieve a real pin point sound image – on- and off-axis!

Let its many faces unfurl the musical message behind its story. A true Totem in all dimensions and facts. It must be felt and experienced with all senses. The ultimate power of WIND… the Body and Soul of Music.
