Modern Shahinian Obelisk

you'd be well advised to return them to the factory for updating as needed. it will not be inexpensive but should offer listening satisfaction. vasken shahinian will not change anything that does not need it. see their site for contact info.

i had obelisks many years. now my son has them and i have diapasons - factory updated 2013. i only listen to classical music which is shahinian's strong suit. after 60 years in the game these are the grail found. currently i am experimenting with free standing super tweeters. they add a new dimension which no one seems able to explain but just take them away and the music is less than with them. over the years i have had a number of wonderful systems, but nothing like the current one. while i lament exiting from the eternal quest to better the product i rejoice in the level attained and plan to make no further major adjustments except tweaks. my stereo buddies don't get the above, preferring to be blasted by forward firing speakers with sweet spots. that's not for me. the so-called best system anywhere is probably the MBL, a 360 degree concet just like shahinian. enough said. jack (idllwld)
