Kin By Totem
Totem Acoustic: Handcrafted Canadian Speakers with Soul
Since 1987, Totem Acoustic has been building exceptional loudspeakers in Montreal, Quebec. Founded by Vince Bruzzese, a former mathematics teacher with a passion for music, Totem began with the legendary Model One — a compact speaker that redefined what small enclosures could achieve.
From the very beginning, Totem proved that you don’t need massive cabinets to experience deep, controlled bass and an expansive, holographic soundstage. What sets Totem apart isn’t just engineering — it’s emotion. These speakers are designed to disappear into the room and leave you with nothing but the music.
At ListenUp, we appreciate brands that prioritize musicality, craftsmanship, and long-term listening satisfaction. Totem continues to deliver on all three.
Designed in Canada. Built for Music Lovers Everywhere.
It’s no secret that manufacturing costs vary worldwide. Totem remains committed to Canadian design and engineering, but to offer more accessible price points, they created Kin by Totem.
Kin by Totem speakers are designed in Canada with the same sonic philosophy and attention to detail, while utilizing carefully selected overseas manufacturing to provide outstanding value. The result? Speakers that deliver the Totem sound — open, engaging, and dynamic — at a more approachable investment.
