Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo

Also, can the filters be fitted between a source and an integrated amp? 
That is on top of the fact, that the filter on sale is for XLR ICs...

i was not poking at your amp
the powered sub and hi pass filter take the load off any amp you choose to use

MF makes fine sounding products, his all class A 100 watt battleship is still one of the best amps i have ever heard period.

i had a MC202 driving 3a Sig for a decade
getting the autoformers out of the way is important but i upgraded to 5a first then an Ayre amp replaced the Mac.

CTsooner and gdnrbob could coment extensively about Treo

again if it were me - Quatro all day long

tomic601,
Thanks for your comments, no offence taken anyway. 
If it is an integrated, I am not sure I will be able to fit those filters...

Your integrated amp has pre out's (according to a quick Google), so you are good to go. You can buy fixed crossovers for approx. $200 in RCA.
You can also buy them directly from Vandersteen.

Bob,
It indeed does, as well as the ht/aux switchable input. However, I am not sure that controls will be working, fully enabling usage of the amp as a pre/pwr pair.
Will test and report.
