Richard Shahinian

Truly sad to hear of the passing of Richard Shahinian. A great innovator and outside-the-box designer of some remarkable speakers (the Obelisk, Arc and Diaposon). You will be missed!

Yes, I remember his room, well. 
I was greatly impressed by the sound.

I had not idea that is so sad. Best to his family and may he rest in peace. And a true innovator in speaker design is sadly lost.

I remember when the Obelisk was first 'rolled out'; a nifty design...
small, 'well-voiced' (IMHO), and a pleasant departure from it's 'peers' of that era....  wasn't in my 'price range' at the time, but one of those that got my attention and respect...

Yes, truly.  RIP Richard....and Thanks.

RIP

We had a pair of Obelisk at a small high end shop in Ohio where i worked..... they were an aquired taste and a mystery- but somehow RIGHT....
looks like tge pearly gates will get a serious upgrade with Richard S joining up with Charley Hanson this week....lets let them have a monopoly on new talent up tgere for a while....
