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!

Ha!
wondered how you were doing
i had 5a with a loaner ARC Ref 75 we for a weekend
adequate for reasonable levels but did not have the sense of ease I look for....
so something North of 75 wpc...,
now having said that I am planning on trying to run a pair of Treo CT with my MC 240 ( in a Condo )
we shall see how that goes....
i do know of people running the 60 wpc Quicksilvers with much bliss....

That sense of ease... yes.
Ok, point taken.  Will look at approx 100wpc tubes.
Thanks. 

We just Got in the latest Quicksilver 120 WPC mono's 2 KT 150s per side
with Ayre Dac, ARC Pre in front.
Could just be what the dr ordered with the Quatro's CTs Hi Passed running 100HZ up with the feedforward message these new Quicks are sending into the tunable Quatros powered bass section sound is really growing on me ......

I went with a pair of Atma-Sphere MA-1's and MP-3 for my Treo's and couldn't be happier. In fact, it is my reference system. I never had tubes before, and this combo is certainly ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶e̶s̶t̶ , no the best I have ever heard.
And, I also have a pair of upgraded DNA-1 monoblocks from SMc Audio, and a pair of Ayre MXR (non twenty), so I could play around.-Those tubes get too hot for the summer.

Gentlemen,
Thanks for your input. Quicksilver and Atma-Sphere don’t sell here, so I can’t try them.
I can get some ARC gear here, Line Magnetic, Rogue Audio, etc.
I am cautious about ARC, though, due to bad experience with their integrated - CA50. Had nothing but problems. Others aforementioned, as I understand, are entry-level tubes, made in China.
Manley is nice, love their Stingray, but on the expensive side.
What else have you had experience with vandy- and tube-wise? McIntosh? Like MC275, plenty of them around. 
Thanks!
