Totem model 1 signature or Dynaudio 52

totem forests will give you much more bass or you will need to add a sub

I owned the Model 1s (not signature) and my impression was similar, very nice but lacking bass. Not familiar with the Audience speakers but am with the older Contour 1.3s which had a very rich, robust sound. For me it's no contest, the Dynaudios win hands down.
That being said, I'm now using a pair of Revel M-20s. These are the best monitors I've had in my system.

thanks both of you. i want to stay with monitors so the forests are out for me, the bass will boom too much in my room. i need to find better bass and spatial spread in monitors. the contours and revels that you mention, are they available used for under 1000 ?
