Maby it is allready too late for you,but you did a big mistake when you changed your system in that way.Bedini is much better amplification than McIntosch,especialy when driving Obelisks(Shahinians).I do not know which Bedinis exactly you have had,but the only week link in your old system was(maby) Bedini preamp.
Obelisks with Bedini?it is a dream combo(i have it with Bedini Classic 100 monos).With McIntosh your Obelisks will not sing,of course,but the foulth is not up to Obelisk,its up to you,so the best for you is to sell McIntosh power amp,and stay(or buy one again)with Bedini.And if you sold your Obelisks,buy it again(new model is slightly beter).You allready had one of the best speakers in the world(Diapason is definitly the best),but just if you have a matching amplifier,Bedini or Plinius(in my experience).This is the price if you want a live music performance in your room(big one for Obelisk,please),nothing from this world can beat this combo,beleive me.
I de like to know what did you do in the meantime,and if something brouth you a level of performance which you have allready experienced with Obelisks and Bedini.
