Anyone hear the new Totem "The One" vs Mani 2 sig


I am considering the Totem Mani 2 Sig and I am wondering (aside from bass) if the new Totem Twentieth Anniversary “The One" would be the better speaker in a 12x14 room? I have heard a friends Tabu speakers as well as a pair of Forests and liked them both but there no Totem dealer in my area so I will make this purchase with out an audition. Any feed back would be appreciated

According to Stereophile website the cost is $3,500.
I once had a pair of Model One Signature's. They were too small for my room. They imaged extremely well and had other desirable characteristics. When I saw The One promoted on Totem's I had the notion to give them a serious listen. But after I read the cost a line from Elton John's song "The One" came to mind:
"...reality runs up your spine"
They may be wonderful speakers but the reality running up my spine is that they are too expensive. Perhaps there will be a used pair here on Audiogon down the road.
