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 some of your disappointment might be with the Shahinian's. 
Another might be the preamp section of the integrated amp.
Though without being there, it is hard to give a good reason.
Unless, you want to fly me to Russia...;)

hope you have a fantastic vacation here
i did a bit of an AM email exchange with RV
the measured response was a room floor bounce / wall coupling issue that JA did measure but that you do not see in the anechoic chamber plots, completely fixining it for real rooms = box like sound that Vandersteen not known for.
the Quattro is designed for closer placement to back wall for ( my words) WAF
you might chat with RV about changes thru the production run prior to the CT
i did not ask about that
i am a fan with 7 MK2 in my home and his amps on the way so I am bissed
2nd home will get Quattro CT
some day

Tomic601,
Thanks, enjoying VA right now. Next stop Boston, then on to Niagara and on to Chicago :-)
You were saying "his amps". What exactly did you mean?
@ja_zz 
Vandersteen has made his own amps for the 7's.
