Lyra 'house sound'


I've read some posts comparing the Skala/Helikon and now the Kleos. One refers to the Lyra 'house sound,' - sonic signature, I suppose. Can anyone describe it ? I listen mainly to vocal recitals, opera, solo keyboard and chamber. Is it complementary to these genres ?

Also, is the Titan i worth the substantially extra cost, or is it a case of diminishing returns ?

I am sure others will chime in also. I've owned a Lyra Lydian Beta, Helikon and 2 Skala's. As far as a house sound, I'd describe it as detailed, dynamic, great extension, power but with delicacy and finesse. The Skala has a drop of warmth that's very addictive for me compared to the Helikon (along with just everything else being better)

I have never heard a Titan, but my experiences with other Lyra's suggest not a diminishing return...they do get better as you step up. From what I've read the Titan i is even better at dynamics...

What arm, table, and phono stage are you using?

Good luck
