Modern Shahinian Obelisk

If you're going to get speakers why limit yourself to Obelisks. Listen to everything in your price range.

I have some brand loyalty, so prefer to hear more about how the product has evolved (or not). I've owned 2 sets of Obelisk, Hawks, and "the Box" before, so am drawn to the Shahinian sound. The Hawks were my favorite, but they need to be played a little loud before they bloom, and I have a small and bright space. The Obelisk sound great at low/mid volume and that's important to me.

I'd say because once some people own them they dont' want anything else.:)

All the models have been using metal for a long time now. The newest obs, the twos, have better cabinets and bracing, different drivers. For those that like Shahinians they are supposed to be quite good. Too bad you have to travel to New York to hear them.
