| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Tomic601,Trouble is, again, that I am in Russia and we are 220V...Aesthetix sells in Europe, they are 230V, and it’s a bit closer :-)What other brands make those 0 feedback designs?Thanks! | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Johnny,Thanks. These brands are not too common here where I live, but the blueprint is clear. What WPC is a good starting point?Thanks again. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Gentlemen,Thanks for your input. Quicksilver and Atma-Sphere don’t sell here, so I can’t try them. I can get some ARC gear here, Line Magnetic, Rogue Audio, etc.I am cautious about ARC, though, due to bad experience with their integrated - CA50. H... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo That sense of ease... yes.Ok, point taken. Will look at approx 100wpc tubes.Thanks. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo I’m back for more :-)I am looking at driving the Quatros with a tube amp: not completely happy with the Meridian G57 SS power amp. Still lacking something. Your Vandee-tube experience and recommendations, comrades? :-)What are the requirements for... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Any info would be appreciated and if you can redirect me to somewhere, that's cool too!I'd suggest eBay. There are other local options depending on where you live (if outside the US).There's a nice aggregator - HiFiShark.com - but it can pull data... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo So, can you thread your bolts into them?BYes, 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, ... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Bob,The thread is there, it’s just not visible on the pics. The back spike hole has no metal inserts anyway. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Tom,Ok, I guess you are right. Will check the manual tomorrow. For free. Meanwhile Merry Christmas to you all! ;-) | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Bob,What I want to know is how much tilt does it usually require to correctly position the speakers. Hence the question. And yes, there is thread both in the front holes (cones) and in the back (Spike). | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Bob,I broke it a bit myself. I thought there were metal inserts and screwed the cones in without looking. My bad.However, rest of the thread is fine. And I can make the inserts if they are flat and fit into those depressions on the bottom.I will a... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Gentlemen,Can you please measure the distance between the floor and 1. back and 2. front bottom parts of the speaker: I am trying to determine the length of spikes and cones. What is the difference between front and Back, how much are they tilted ... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo They do, but they are not metal: just the wooden stuff the speakers are made of. Not used to this. Ruined q of an inch of thread. Guess they need to go deeper.. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Schiit....It's all wrong. No metal inserts. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo All done, will try to screw them in tomorrow. Can’t attach pics here. How’s it done? |
