In high school, I had a friend, Roland, whose dad worked near or in Levi's Plaza. That was just a few blocks from where Parasound used to be headquartered.
Roland had a cousin, Christine, who lived in Daly City, and thus did not attend the same high school. When we met up for pickup basketball, Christine hated that Roland and the boys could go "skins (i.e., shirtless)," while she could not.
Christine would end up going to UC Santa Cruz.
Despite a years-long drought, February 1992 was actually a rainy month. During a break between storms, the weather was relatively balmy. So my housemate Dave rallied two cars, and ten of us went up Highway 1, to Bonny Doon nude beach.
Upon my return, I told Christine (above), who was living in dorms, about it. Christine (1) was mad that I didn't invite her, but (2) wanted to know how soon we could go next. In March 1992, I borrowed my housemate Doug's Volvo station wagon, and took Christine to Bonny Doon beach. She remarked that the sand at Bonny Doon was slightly better than that of San Francisco and Pacifica. When she took off her shirt, she was not wearing a bra or bikini top. In fact, she admitted that, although she owned a few bras, she would not wear one, unless she absolutely had to. She mentioned that she liked Metallica's "The Unforgiven." Christine pointed to her legs. Since they had no hair, she never had to shave her legs.
In 1992-93, Christine was a housemate with the two girls posing on the railroad tracks. They lived on Santa Cruz's Westside, and no one was related to each other.
After graduating from UCSC, Christine moved somewhere back east, where she went to grad school. She's hardly ever come home. But in 2017, she and I did go back to Santa Cruz, and went to The Penny ice creamery (above), which did not exist, when we attended UCSC. Christine thought back to our teenage years. She complained that the media never played Metallica's cover of "The Wait."
Each audiophile has his own reasons, for being in this hobby. As a reviewer, my job is to explain how well or poorly a product does, in transcribing the musical experience. Even if a reader is not in the market for a Totem Forest Signature itself, he can take the information provided, and apply it to any other speaker.
That said, readers have been pestering me, for posts comparing the FS to other loudspeakers. Now that we've gone through the product details, those comparison posts will start to come.
