Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro

These two Totem speaker models had more or less the same price, and it was natural to choose between the two when one was interested in the Canadian brand.
The Arro is still currently on Totems catalog but the Model 1 is only available on the Signature version, much more expensive.
I have the Arro (love’em) and I wonder if the Model 1 is superior, specially in the bass quality?

Does anyone have any experience in comparing these two models?

This is one of the best speakers sold over the last 35 years or more. The Totem Model 1 Signatures sound as good as the Dynaudio special 40’s ($4500) for half the price! These Totem speakers have a beautiful Dynaudio main driver with a lovely 3 inch voice coil. The inside of the cabinet has some space age NASA material that dampens the cabinet tremendously. These speakers (when driven by a high quality clean sounding amplifier of around 100 watts per side ) will deliver bass that is very powerful potent and forceful, amazing for their size. The mids are first class, female and male vocals are reproduced with total accuracy and detail. The highs are pure joy, effortless with great extension. A great pair of solid speaker stands will be needed as well. As for the Totem Arro.....no.
