| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo tomic601,Thanks for the info. If the crossover is faulty I will certainly fix it locally. If it's the driver, tough luck, off it goes to RV for rebuild.Thanks to all for your advice and help. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Gdnrbob,Thanks for the spike info.Yes we do have dealers, but they only complicate things and slow them down: they outsource repairs, and, if I have to send a speaker for rebuild to RV, it’s going to be much faster to do it direct.JohnnyR,Will cal... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Will call JohnnyR, thanks. Wrote to RV, he thinks this might be the speaker itself. Willing to rebuild it, but oh what a hassle to send it in from Russia and to get it back. At least 2mo of speakers not working...Yes, it is tightly screwed. A ... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Well, after a while I finally decided to go for those Quatros and did so. Got them a week ago and only now got home to update the battery and tune the HP filters and get a dedicated listen.Unfortunately I discovered that midwoofer on one of the sp... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo JohnnyR,Thanks. Wil work on that. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Gentlemen,Thanx for your support. Once I am back home, I have a friend who owns a pair of Quatros AND an amp another friend (an ex- owner of this combo) recommended for them - a Meridian G57. Will audition them both. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Tomic601,Thanks, enjoying VA right now. Next stop Boston, then on to Niagara and on to Chicago :-)You were saying "his amps". What exactly did you mean? | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Bob,I'll think about it;)Meanwhile, I am coming over to the US like... tomorrow :)) | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo I was expecting that "neutral, sweet, tubey" sound that everybody raves about. Fidelity to music. Something like that.What I got was... like I covered the speakers with a blanket. Powerful, loud, yes, but ... mushy. No air , no clarity, no dimensi... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Finally received my newly bought second-hand musical fidelity A5.5 and hooked it up to the shahinians instead of my beloved, but child-unfriendly Manley Stingray.. So far the only good thing about it is that it doesn’t have any attractive switches... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Bob, Tomic,It’s definitely a plot: you have surely seen that picture on the internet where a lady is writing to customer support asking whether her password is safe from Russian hackers. Customer Support’s answer: Da. That must have been me ,😂Yes,... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Sorry, Italian keyboard kicking in on my smartphone... stringere=strongerNitty=but | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Bob,True, bit "lowly"?? A much stringere Word IMO.Ohlala,Thanks, nitty how do you distinguish them? | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo JohnnyR,Many an audiophile will not concur with your statement on little importance of electronics (or, say, WIRES - the marketing myth that never fails to amuse me). I, however, will. And in no way did I want to call NAD lowly )))I just think th... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo JohnnyR,Thanks for your comments. No, I don't have any specific emotional attachment to the musical fidelity. Trouble is, I just bought it. So, I would like to at least use it for a while. However, I'm willing to upgrade the power section with a s... |
