Meet the Bookshelf Speakers Hi-Fi News Calls ‘Proof That Good Things Really Can Come in Small Packages’: Canadian-Made Totem Bison Monitor Delivers Remarkable Sound from a Small-Volume Enclosure

he made-in-Canada Bison Monitor redefines the luxury bookshelf speaker category by defying the visual expectations associated with such a small-volume enclosure. Purposefully designed to engage the broadest music lover audience to date, the Monitor Bison marries the signature Totem characteristics of enormous imaging, phase coherence, and remarkable bass response with broad amplifier compatibility and prodigious power handling.

Experience Totem's never-ending quest for an affordable soul mover of the highest caliber. Regardless of what other audio components you pair this speaker with – whether it's the KIN AMP, an exotic tube amplifier or a cutting-edge Totem surround system – it will reward you with a superior listening enjoyment.

"Tight, quick bass handling, superb midrange definition and sparkling detail result in a sound that is always enjoyable and often eye-opening when weighted against the cabinet size and price tag. Consider it proof that good things really can come in small packages."
– Mark Craven, Hi-Fi News

"Where the Bison Monitor excels – and where it lives up to Totem Acoustic's 'luxury bookshelf' moniker – is with its really rather exceptional imaging ability and mid-range resolution. It crafts a wide, open soundstage where elements are precisely placed, always natural-sounding and not fighting for space. And the speakers themselves become almost invisible, so your focus is on the sounds they're making, and not the units themselves."
– Mark Craven, Home Cinema Choice
