The KIN ONE speakers from Totem

Totem Acoustic’s new KIN ONE speakers build on the reputation earned by the KIN PLAY models. Now unpowered, they truly represent a genuine introduction to high-performance audio at a very approachable price point, employing technology from Totem’s flagship models. Priced at only $599 a pair, you can bundle them with the KIN AMP (featuring Bluetooth aptX™ streaming capability and a 100 wpc amplifier having analog and digital inputs for $1,199) The amplifier is also available separately for those needing that solution.

The KIN ONE uses proprietary drivers, with the woofer using Totem’s MHEX (Multiple Strata Hex Cone) design offering more stiffness than a metal cone, with the sonic attributes of a paper cone, and a titanium infused soft-dome tweeter. Much of the engineering know how developed building the legendary Model One, and the recent Element Fire v2 makes its way into these compact monitor speakers.

A minimalist 2nd order crossover, combined with an L-shaped port delivers solid bass response from this 4″ woofer. Like all Totem speakers, the KIN ONE delivers a similar voice with dynamics that are beyond what you’d expect from such a compact speaker.

And, they are available in super cool colors! We look forward to a review as soon as samples are available.
