I owned the standard and Signature version Totem Model Ones. Tried a few different connection options over the years. Here are the results of all three.
Top: with the silver jumper wires installed, connecting to the top binding posts reveals a little more of the tweeter, slightly less from the woofer.
Bottom: with the silver jumper wires installed, the tweeter is a tad more rolled off ever so slightly and lower bass comes through a tad more.
Bi-wire: jumpers removed, bi-wire speaker cables. I was not expecting much of a difference and tried it with pure copper ofc and silver-over-copper bi wire speaker cables. Noticed a bit of reinforcement to both the mids and lows, with no loss of upper end tweeter presentation.
Preferred bi-wire speaker connectivity over any of the single wire connections.
