I have auditioned the TYR 2, Valhalla and Odin IC's in my system. Each step up provided enhancements that were quite apparent. Within the context of my system the Odin IC's were the best by far. Frankly, I was shocked by how much better the Odin IC's were compared to Valhalla. One of the most memorable auditions ever. Given the price difference, the TYR 2 was the better value, but money aside the Odin was the clear winner.
I also auditioned the TYR 2 and Odin speaker wire. I actually didn't notice that much of a difference between these two, making the TYR 2 a great value.
I would strongly recommend a home audition to see what combo would work best for you. As a side note, it is very likely Nordost will be coming out with "Valhalla 2" before the end of the year.
Good luck!
