Hi,
Not had a thread on Shahinian Speakers for a while, so I was interested in finding a few things out as I might be upgrading.
Just a few questions, thoughts on any or all welcomed.
1) How many have used them and stayed with the same model and not felt the need to upgrade up the Shahinian range or versions?
2) How many have used them and upgraded to other models or versions in the Shahinian range?
3) Of the Shahinian speakers you have, or have had, what makes you feel they are the best?
4) You have them, or have had them, but thought you needed to change other parts of your HiFi, source or amplification, to get the best out of them?
5) How many have used them and moved to other makes of speakers?
6) How many have heard them and did not like them and why?
I have heard all the range, mostly in other peoples houses, with Dynavector, Bedini, Naim, Linn and Quad valve and solid state amplification with analogue and digital sources.
In my own place I have used Arcs and Super Elf's and still have these, with analogue and digital sources, solid state and valve amplification, although my Arcs are on loan to someone currently.
What I like about Shahinian is they sound so natural with the music just flowing from them without the speakers taking centre stage, giving depth and soundstage that at times makes the music sound so real it transports you to the venue.
Everyone will have their own thoughts on how a speaker sounds, or should sound, so am sure there will be similar or different views from mine.
Interested in thoughts, opinions and anything else about them including which Shahinians you have or aspire to have and maybe what you use with them.
Cheers
John
