Its a difficult question to answer. Maybe Shelter or DV.

Bad information from Zd.

Shelters have little in common sonically with Lyra.

I suggest he listen before posting."

I as going under the assumption the OP is looking for similar performance, not exact. Maybe you just didn't have it set up right. Most people who compare the 2 brands usually pick the Shelter, myself included. Of course, this is all subjective and not everyone will have the same equipment or taste. That's just the way it goes.
