Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo

HI fellow ’goners.
I own the Shahinians, thinking of upgrading to the Treos. The Obelisks sound a little smallish for the room... And the room is not square, it's a big living area of a house, with access to the second floor's roof. 
Will this be an upgrade or just a sideward move?
Room approx 60m2, driven by Musical Fidelity A5.5, 250wpc at 8Ohm (thinking of replacing this one too).
Mostly jazz and acoustic music, less frequently - classical and pop.
Thanks!

Bob,
I looked those SPL meters up, and  I can get a cheapo version here.

Point taken, thanks.

Great, now we're getting somewhere. You can even substitute some bolts for the cones, until they arrive. Just get the proper thread( I think it is 3/8-16).  Put the bolt head downward and add a lock nut. The spikes are about an inch to 1.25 inches tall (at least on my Treo's), so you would probably want a 1.75 inch bolt(depending on how level your floors are). Follow the manual's set up directions for angling and you're good to go. Then on to equalizing them.

They are. We are all metric and centigrade, you know...

As for the size: "The two fronts are cones ¼ X 20 threads and a special spike in the rear with spacers for tilt 3/8 X 16 thread."

So, total we are 4 front cones and 2 back spikes, right?
