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!

Tom,
Ok, I guess you are right.  Will check the manual tomorrow.  For free. 
Meanwhile Merry Christmas to you all! ;-)

Those pics don't show any thread.
I would hesitate to thread your spikes into wood.

Bob,
The thread is there, it’s just not visible on the pics. The back spike hole has no metal inserts anyway.

So, can you thread your bolts into them?

Yes, but the front ones are toо feeble and not deep enough to hold the tilted speaker - without proper support by the washers, of course. I even broke part of the thread.

The back hole will hold the spike, though, as the cone is pressed directly against the speaker bottom, so no sideways pressure on the wood.
