Totem THE ONE vs Totem Signature One

Has any one heard these two speakers ?
I am building a second system around the Naim Nait-i2 and the Transporter from Logitec. I once owned the Model One many moons ago and very happy with their sound. Wondering how these two Totems compare to each other and how profound if any differences there are between the two speakers.
Thanks for your help,

You definately have to address the tweeter's characteristics by paying close attention to room acoustics, cables and type of equipment used. They can be hot sounding, especially when pushed:O)

The ONE vs TS1's are about better dynamic shadings and tonal purity assuming the ancillaries are able to resolve the differences. I think the Forest speakers are the world champs if the space allows...look Ma, no stands:)

I just had a blow out with Erick Lichte at the Stereophile forum regarding his follow up review of the Forest loudspeaker. I just couldn't give him a pass on the incorrect description of their ability to throw a spacious soundstage with pinpoint imaging....if they do anything it's soundstaging!! FYI The "ONE" is a great speaker:O)
