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.

Totem Forest Signatures are very nice speakers.  At your price point, there are many choices and if you like the Totem sound, you will be very happy with these.  They tend to like power so your amp is definitely going to be compatible.

I have heard these speakers paired with a Plinius amp and Audioquest cables and interconnects.  Very well mannered speakers doing everything well. 

Hopefully you will have an opportunity to demo them as the bottom line is that your ears only will make the decision.

dave_b,
(and others in copy)

I agree! I received my Forest Signatures in March. I purchased them from David Lewis Audio. Mr. Serota made me a very! nice deal on the pair. Mine are high gloss Cherry and they are amazing. Simply captivating, both visually and sonically.

I'm glad to see this thread resurrected.  As the owner of NON-Signature Forests, I've been very interested in the experience of Signature owners.  Appreciate the 2018 comments from dave_b and nutty.  Hopefully more will follow.

To be honest, I let my Mahogany Signatures go a few months back and brought in Focal Kanta no 2’s .  After a couple months I had withdrawals like a crack addict ...I needed my Signatures back bad!!!!  Ordered the Cherry finish second time around 🤗. I will be buried with the Forest Sig’s
