Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures


I am putting together a new 2 channel system! I am looking for a new pair of speakers and my budget is around $7000. This thread has to deal only with the Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures!!!!!!  I have always been a fan of Totem Acoustic and love the Totem sound.  I have owned almost all their speakers except for the element series and the Forest Signatures. I have been trying to find reviews on the signatures but can't find anything useful so I am turning to the Audiogon crowd.

Has anyone demoed these or does anyone currently own a pair or owned a pair in the past that can give some useful insight? I don't listen to my music at high volumes and my music mainly consists of R&B from the 50's till now.

The speakers will be hooked up to the following - Hegel H360 integrated 
- Hegel Cdp4a CD player 
- Audioquest Wild Blue Yonder interconnects
- Audioquest Wild Wood speaker cable
- Audioquest Wel Signature power cables
- Shunyata MPC12A power conditioner but looking to upgrade to their new Denali series.

What would you say in the minimum power needed to show the Sigs at their best ? I believe Totem is the least expensive speaker that will do all that needs doing for the Classical music i listen to .IMO Canadian made is a good thing , a very good thing .

Only SS amps I have on hand are a Belles that does 250 @ 4 Ohms anda Van Alstine that makes 400 @4 Ohms .They seem to drive my Totem model 1 Sigs OK and they are not a easy speaker to drive.
Also, what would you consider a good price for the Forest Sigs ?I'm wondering if our leader is going to put a tariff on them .
