I have the latest Diapasons with metal domes. Prior to that I had the older version (non metal) Brand new they sounded really bad compared with the older version. After a LONG break in period I concluded the new drivers sounded better. I then sold the old pair when I was convinced the new speakers sounded better. Shahinian just released the Obelisk 2. I'm sure it sounds awesome.
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?
