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!

@audioconnection ,
Johnny, kudos to you. Thanks for all your time and effort.
I only really needed the info on the lower inputs and crossover frequency setting, but your input is really commendable. Thanks A LOT.
I am picking the amp up today in ... Prague :-)  Great reason for a fun trip with my better half. The beer is fabulous and the pork knuckles are fantastic... as always.

Tested the built-in xlr crossover vs rca quatro. The built-in sounded more open and transparent.
@audioconnection , your experience is different, right?
