Don't the Kleos ( I have one) and the Delos buck the Lyra "House Sound" ? I have not heard the Skala, but I have heard the Helikon and Dorian. Until I heard the Kleos, I always assumed you could have warmth or detail but not both.
And to my ears and in my system, it is not like old style Grado warmth or classic tube warmth. It is fullness but not bloat with an extended top and bottom. Quite seductive.
I am experimenting with a Jolida JD9 phono pre and the Kleos is not dark through that. Put in NOS 5751's and am about to try those so I will see what changes.
