Totem's Exclusive Torrent Driver

Totem Torrent drivers are among the most advanced drivers in the world and represent Totem’s relentless drive to push the boundaries of sonic performance. The driver cradle is outfitted with seventeen 2.5-inch long neodymium magnets which employ a proprietary topology in the way they are magnetized. Incredibly, the Torrent drivers do not require a crossover in their complete frequency path, allowing a completely uninterrupted signal flow. Sonically, these drivers offer a midrange with staggering articulation, organic harmonics, speed, clarity and detail extraction. Please check out our Torrent Technology page to learn more details about the design of these remarkable drivers.

Titanium Dome Tweeter

The titanium dome tweeter is engineered to perfectly match the performance of the Torrent driver. Its chassis, which consists of the front plate and the rear fins, is constructed out of a single solid piece of metal which allows it to behave as a large radiator that is very efficient at keeping the tweeter stable and cool. This tweeter is designed to produce gigantic imaging that does not shift about in the listening position, even during huge dynamic contrasts and swings.

Unique Cabinet Construction

The Element V2 loudspeaker cabinets feature a complex geometric design, without any parallel surfaces. This design allows the cabinets to have a certain amount of energy that quickly dissipates, harmoniously aiding with the spatial attributes offered by the speakers and without blurring the image or reducing the dynamics. Borosilicate paint on the inside of the cabinets acts like a radiator and maintains cabinet stability and sonic performance for the lifetime of the speakers, unlike traditional fillers used by most speakers, which decay over time.

WBT Platinum Bi-Wire Speaker Terminals

The Element V2 loudspeakers are outfitted with the coveted WBT Platinum Bi-Wire speaker terminals. The aluminum terminal plate is custom machined and annealed to reduce reverb. The speaker terminals offer adequate spacing for increased comfort when connecting speaker cables.

Magnetic Grilles

The included grilles attach to the front baffles using hidden magnets which allows the front of the speaker to achieve a perfectly clean and minimalist appearance.

Engineered + Handcrafted In Canada

The Element V2 loudspeakers are meticulously engineered and hand-built at our state-of-the-art facility in Montreal, Quebec.

Even Hotter

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.

Continuous Evolution in Sound Design

It’s nearly impossible to improve upon revolutionary technology like Torrent or the overall immaculate design of the Metal. Nearly.  But after nearly 10 years of research and development, Totem accomplished the impossible with the Element Metal V2.

Stealth black finish on the aluminum framework of our proprietary Torrent woofers and acoustic isolation are the visible changes. The acoustic improvements are even more dramatic.

The Metal V2 is equipped with the second generation of 7” Torrent woofers, precision-machined  in-house with the exactness of a luxury watch and fine-tuned like a performance engine. Individual magnets positioned cylindrically around the motor structure keep the voice coil continuously immersed within the magnetic field for absolute and instant control of its every reaction.  The design is a controlled ferocity that amazingly requires no crossover, channeling vast dynamic potential into the purest musical experience.

The remarkable tweeter is the equal counterpoint to the powerhouse Torrent. The thick aluminum faceplate and finned aluminum body allows it to stay cool as it matches the torrid pace of the Torrent with clarity and openness at any volume setting.

All this technology is housed in a spectacular cabinet with no parallel surfaces that eradicates distortion-causing interior standing waves.  It is the acoustic and artistic standard to which all others will be measured.  They will all be found wanting, for there is simply nothing like the Element Metal V2.

Reviews

“So is it my duty that I have to pick a weakness? With the Metals I don’t hear one, it’s pure pleasure from start to finish. The Metals have just enough to give me everything I needed on the low end, and the mids and tops were unmatched in my experience to date. If I had the coin to buy these review samples I would be confident this is the best hi-fi purchase this reviewer has yet made.”

Features in Detail

Torrent Drivers

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.

Handmade Crossovers

Totem crossovers don’t require many parts because of the synergy between our customized drivers, but the components are the world’s best. Our crossovers aren’t built on PCB’s because the laminated conductive tracks are weak and inconsistent. Instead they are secured to a thin piece of fiberboard or insulated polymers and components are mechanically crimped together because it simply sounds better. When we must solder, we choose WBT Silver Solder, the purest in the industry.

Artisanal Cabinet Construction

Tribe enclosures are not built with the mass production method of the competition but with the artisanal attention of a master furniture craftsman. The slim enclosures are composed of Variable Density Fiberboard, which is denser at the extremities than the interior to reduce repetitive nodes and resonances. Each is meticulously hand assembled for peak performance that lasts decades.

Connectors

Two sets of high conductivity gold plated connectors efficiently capture the incoming signal for superior speaker performance and allow traditional, bi-wire, or even bi-amplification options. They accommodate a variety of connection options such as bare wire, banana plugs, and spades.

Flush Mount Wall Bracket

The included bracket installs easily, firmly holds the speaker flush to the wall, and allows for both vertical and horizontal orientation.

Power and flexibility

With cutting-edge patented technology, the Tribe is luxuriously detailed and perfectly proportioned. Exclusively designed, they are among the slimmest wall speakers available, offering a brocade of rich harmonics with world-leading on- and off-axis dispersion and frequency range.

The Tribe III is a true full-range speaker that activates sound naturally and effortlessly with complete phase coherence and unequalled dispersion. It is truly one of the world’s best speakers. Using Totem’s in-house produced and hand-assembled Torrent™ woofer, it sets new standards in all domains. Nuance, inflection, detail, power and flexibility are just some of its qualities. The Tribe III is also available in Design finish.

Optional accessories:

  • Tribe Stand
  • Angled wall bracket

Artisanal Cabinet Construction

Meticulously hand crafted for peak performance that lasts decades. Lock-Miter assembly is an intricate woodworking procedure where edges physically interlock together. The resulting cabinet is up to 5 times stronger than conventional V Groove cabinets. Internal and external veneering resists warping, structurally fortifies, and ensures consistent peak performance. Industry unique Borosilicate damping manages dissipation, keeps the cabinet musically alive, and never deteriorates. Popular materials like poly fillers eventually decay, dramatically affecting the performance. Variable Density Fiberboard is denser at the extremities than the interior to reduce repetitive nodes and resonances.

Connectors

Two sets of high conductivity gold plated connectors efficiently capture the incoming signal for superior speaker performance and allow traditional, bi-wire, or even bi-amplification options. They accommodate a variety of connection options such as bare wire, banana plugs, and spades.

Sound Isolation

Machined from solid aluminum, the Semi Spherical Decouplers are threaded to smoothly fit into the inserts at the bottom of the cabinet and the provided nuts allow for perfect leveling to any surface. The rounded surface prevents scratching like traditional spikes. They are pre-installed on the Tribe Tower.
