In our last issue, we described the introduction of Totem Acoustic's entirely-new line of loudspeakers called Element. They describe the models in this line as the finest loudspeakers in the history of their company. The first three models in this line were the "Fire" monitor at $5995 per pair, the "Earth" tower at $8995 per pair, and the "Metal" tower at $12,995 per pair. (Please see Issue 14 for an in-depth discussion of the design and sound virtues of the Element series.)

There are now two new models in this line. They are the Wood center channel at $4500 and a new, smaller bookshelf/monitor model, the Ember, at $4295/pair. These new models share all of the acoustic advancements and styling of the other models we discussed in Issue 14 and make it possible for those in smaller rooms, those with lower budgets, and those desiring a complete home theater loudspeaker system to purchase an Element system.
