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,

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:)

Pulled the trigger and bought THE ONE.
Have them on auto-repeat in order to break them in.

My "The One"s are just about broken in at 200 hours. I am shooting for 300. Fantasitic, except have no lows, or mid-low punch. Can't quite hear the "wood" in violins, or the "tin" in horns. They need more bottom-end to sound full enough to do all that. Therefore, I have just ordered the Totem "Storm" subwoofer. Hope it fills in the gap. I am using high-end gear and tweaks. However, they do have more detail and clarity than my old (very full range, and very big) $6,000 Energy Veritas V2.8 speakers. How low can we go........?
