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!

I think you have something there and taking a pic of the threads is the best way to go.
Post it on the Virtual Systems page.
This is really odd.

Gentlemen,
Can you please measure the distance between the floor and 1. back and 2. front bottom parts of the speaker: I am trying to determine the length of spikes and cones. What is the difference between front and Back, how much are they tilted in your case?
Thanks!

You mentioned that there was only wood in the place where the threads should go.
I just realized that the previous owner may have removed the metal threaded inserts-Why, I don't know. 
If this is the case, then you need to replace them in order to mount the spikes.
Check out this link:

You need those things on the left. Or, maybe some T-Nuts:

Hopefully, the previous owner didn't enlarge the holes too much.
With Wood filler and Wood Glue, you should be able to install them without much difficulty.
