About Totem Acoustic

Totem Acoustic is a Montreal loudspeaker maker founded in 1987. It is known for compact bookshelf speakers that deliver a big sound for their size, and it also makes subwoofers for fuller bass.

It suits music lovers who want serious sound in a modest space, like a Montreal apartment or a small living room. Pair a set of bookshelf speakers with a turntable for vinyl evenings, or with a TV for movie nights. For audio fans, they are a long-term purchase rather than a quick gadget. The brand has been designing speakers in Montreal for decades.
