The Totem Hawk is a very good speaker, the Forest model is even better. I never auditioned the model 1 Sigs, but if size is not a factor, I would look at the Acoustic Zen Adagios. A used pair will cost you between $2200-2500. They are dynamic with excellent bass, and outstanding midrange resolution. They will out perform the Maggie 1.7, though the Maggies may have better soundstaging. The Adagios need an amp of about 100-150 RMS with high current to get the most out of the bass. Another candidate is Salk Song Tower( possibly used) This is a factory direct retailer and price varies according to finish and optional upgrades. A member suggested the Audio Physic Tempo used, but you might seek out AP Virgo (original) used about $2000, but a great speaker that with proper placement, just disappears. IMHO, the Virgo I outperforms the entire Totem line except the "Wind" which is grossly overpriced. Good Luck, Jim
