Totem Acoustics Model-1 Signature
Bookshelf speaker from Totem Acoustics, Signature version of the Model-1, fitted with W.B.T. terminals for bi-wiring and dedicated internal wiring.
Description
The Model-1 Signature is an evolved version of the Model-1 from Totem Acoustics, a bookshelf speaker designed to faithfully reproduce musical nuances. This Signature model builds on the base of the regular Model-1, bringing targeted modifications to both the connectivity and the internal electronics.
At the rear, an additional pair of W.B.T. terminals allows for bi-wiring, a practice consisting of separately connecting the bass and treble sections of the speaker to the amplifier. A medallion fitted to the rear panel officially identifies the unit as belonging to the Signature series. Inside, the wiring has been revised and specifically designed for this model, while the crossovers, already carefully engineered across the entire Totem range, have been the subject of further refinement on this version.
This type of bookshelf speaker is aimed at demanding listeners seeking precise midrange reproduction and a stable soundstage, within a hi-fi setup where careful placement and pairing with suitable electronics play an important role.
What to check before buying used
The driver surrounds should be supple and free of cracks, as hardening or sagging indicates ageing that affects bass reproduction. Also examine the cabinet: veneer, corners and finish do not withstand knocks and humidity well, while the pair of W.B.T. terminals dedicated to bi-wiring should remain firmly fixed and free of oxidation. Finally, check for the presence of the Signature medallion on the rear, which confirms the authenticity of this specific version.
