Totem "The One" compared to original "Model One"

I owned the original Model One a few years ago. I kept and enjoyed these speakers in my system for about 4 years until I sold them a bought a pair of JM Reynaud Trentes. Now that I've had the Trentes about 6 years I am again getting curious about what else is out there. I always enjoyed the Model One and always thought I might try another Totem speaker again. Recently I learned of the new special edition Model One "The One" and am interested in giving these a try. I am wondering if anyone out there has spent any time listening to "The One". If so, how do they compare to the original Model One (non-signature). Also, if anyone has compared them to the JMR Trente I would be interested in that comparison as well. BTW, I have a REL Storm III subwoofer that I used to suplement the bass of the older Model One and am now using with my Trente.

Based on my listening /systems with all Levinson Gear & Cardas Cables I feel that the sounds is more natural and a more well rounded overall compared to the Model One.

In typical Totem fashion, the sounds and size will always amaze listeners.

Is it better than the Model One? - from my ears, noticeably & definitely YES. From a price per performance ratio is it better than the Model One, NO.

But as in all Hi-fi, the law of diminishing return (most of the times) applies.

ItÂ’s a great little GEM for me...
