Totem Model 1 Signature vs The One


Is The One a significant improvement over the Model 1 Signature? Both have similar sized 5.5" drivers. In what ways are The One's superior to the Model 1 Signature? Is the difference huge? I listened to the Model 1s and found them to be pretty decent.

Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. The Mani 2 looks good but I'll need to upgrade my amps if I were to consider this one. Will keep the Mani 2 in the shortlist.

Cheers.
Lapierre, Chashas1, Nieuwen, Jaybo, thanks for the advice.

I have come to a conclusion that although the Totem Model 1s are great sounding speakers, they are not the last word in refinement. They lack the finesse and are a little coarse/grainy in the upper mids and highs. Any idea whether The One will *significantly* improve upon the shortcomings of the Model 1s?

Jaybo, have you compared the Proac D2 with Model 1s or The One? If yes, what are your impressions between the two?

Thanks.
Hi Chashas1,

Thanks for the response. Not changing speakers as the new one will be an addition. The Harbeth is great for most types of music that I listen to except for rock and dynamic music. The listening fatigue of the Model 1s is much higher than the Harbeth.
