Totem Acoustics Bookshelf Speakers With Geometric Design In Ice - FIRE V2 (I)
You may also like
This Fire is hotter than ever before.
Efficiency, bass response, and power handling specifications imply Fire V2 is a hulking tower rather than the statuesque monitor it is. Now powered by next generation Torrent woofers, it is meticulously refined to redefine the category.
The proprietary magnetic design of Totem’s own Torrent woofers require absolutely no crossover components and allows an unadulterated flow of musical energy. The effect is felt as much as it is heard, simultaneously stimulating a physical and even emotional interaction as one listens.
Correspondingly radical tweeter design balances the Torrent spectrum with sparkling clarity, natural phase, and striking accuracy on and off axis.
Some speakers can be the centerpiece of the favorite family area, others the focal point of a dedicated listening room, some the core of a serious recording studio. Fire V2 can – and will – do it all.

Torrent Drivers
Totem’s Exclusive Design
Torrent hand-assembled drivers feature machined precision craftsmanship and revolutionary magnetic technology. The proprietary magnetic design keeps the voice coil continuously immersed within the magnetic field for absolute and instant control of its every reaction. These woofers possess such wide and flat response that they remarkably require absolutely no active or passive crossover components. This radical technology offers an unadulterated flow of information and energy for substantial advantages in clarity, phase correctness, and striking accuracy both on and off axis.
Artisanal Cabinet Construction
Geometric Cabinet Design
Element enclosures are not built with the mass production method of the competition but with the artisanal attention of a master furniture craftsman. They taper towards the top and to the back, leaving no two sides parallel, thereby avoiding standing waves, minimizing cabinet resonances, and enrich clarity in the vital midrange band.
Connectors
Platinum WBT Bi-Wire / Bi-Amp Connectors and Annealed Aluminum Plate
The ultimate WBT connectors with the highest conductivity are fitted onto an annealed aluminum plate that eliminates any potential resonance. These are the absolute best connectors which will prevent any signal loss and help get the most out of the entire system.
