I had my Obelisks completely updated a couple of years ago
it cost about $2000. I liked them before, but loved them afterwards. I also have a set of Compass' that I listen to near field with outstanding results. I listen to rock, jazz and classical with both sets. I would strongly suggest getting yours updated before changing. Call Shahinian, they are very easy to talk to and do business with.
Modern Shahinian Obelisk
I have an itch to try some modern Obelisks; I have a set of older ones (the model with the large fabric midrange dome) and they are getting tired. I'm a little afraid of the latest model with metal domes, I have yet to hear a metal driver I like. What are poples experience with the latest Obelisks?
