Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo
You mentioned that there was only wood in the place where the threads should go.I just realized that the previous owner may have removed the metal threaded inserts-Why, I don't know. If this is the case, then you need to replace them in order to m... 
HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING
As I said, perhaps you should make the best of the situation and give each pair of speakers the best possible placement and let it go from there. 
Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ?
+1 dill. Though I can understand madavid0's sentiment.When I recall the pretentious attitudes that more than a few dealers in Manhattan gave me, I too, wished them an eternal residence in a fiery pit.Thankfully, not all of them deserve such a fate.B 
Dac upgrade?
@OP Some feel Tidal superior to Spotify due to it streaming in a higher resolution and offering MQA. FWIW, I stream both and find Tidal marginally better sound wise. YMMV.Regarding DAC's, the Schiit Bifrost Multibit is good, but a Gungnir or Yggy ...

HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING
Oh, wolfie, you are a bad man...@infinity_audio I think you are just going to have to accept that there will be some interaction with the adjacent speaker. But, then everything in the room will contribute to affecting sound reproduction.If it were...

@ekimg, 22wpc is probably not enough to get the full effect of the Treo's, in my humble opinion. The Vandersteen website recommends at least 40 wpc.And Tomic, you are one lucky B*****D!Bob
