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.

Stumbled on this discussion today. This thread is what I used to love about internet audio discussion! Great info based on actual experience and not a negative Nancy in the bunch.

I am also a huge Totem fan. Scored original Forests a few tears ago and have not had the upgrade bug since. Simply exactly the sound I prefer from bass to mid and highs. I am sure the Sigs and upgraded amplification would impress me even more but for my room and on my budget, Forests driven by a Roksan K2 (125wpc) and Teac 503 DAC is more musically involving than anything I have owned. That is saying a lot. 

Has anyone compared with the Model 1 sigs by chance?
