FWIW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
I've had both the ARROs and FORESTs in a prior system.
I swapped in and out many different speaker cables and I settled on three listed below (in descending order of preference)
(1) TOTEMs own "SINEW" cables + ATLAS ASCENT 3.0 cables bi-amped:
The SINEW are silver plated copper. Most if not all of the TOTEMs are internally wired these.( = synergy!) I had them to the tweeters with heavier gauge ATLAS ASCENT 3.0 to the woofers .
(2) TOTEMs own SINEW bi-wired
(3) CHORD Oddyssey bi-wired or bi-amped.
The SINEW and CHORD are very similar in both construction and in performance with silver plated copper cable.
I found the TOTEMs to be "picky" in favour of silver plated copper speaker cables and also to the ICs. I ran them with matched ATLAS NAVIGATOR all_cu ICs.
