| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? I think the Dynavector has an overall slightly warmer sound than the lyra. maybe a little more body through the midrange. but the lyra does not sound sterile or thin at all. Just a very nice and very balanced from top to bottom cartridge. i used t... | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? Really enjoying the Delos. Something special going on with this cartridge in my system. have not even put the XV-1s back on and will probably sell it and put some money into my table. I will try the Kleos down the road, but right now I dont feel t... | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output I agree 100% with Manitunc. I like my Delos enough that I am keeping it and selling my XV-1s to put the $$$ towards a table upgrade. Its very balanced from top to bottom and walks the line between detailed and musical better than anything I have h... | |
| Driving YG Carmel's Not sure how much listening you guys have done with the Carmels, but my conclusions come from around a year of experimenting with them. As far as the original question. I prefer tube amps with every speaker i have owned. The Carmels let them show ... | |
| Driving YG Carmel's Thats just not true. Having used them with several amps and heard them in four systems not mine, all SS BTW, these speakers have the least sonic signature of any I have owned or heard. Also you need to listen to more of the better tube amps out th... | |
| Driving YG Carmel's I use the BATRexpower amp (80wpc) and the sound is over the top good. Room is around 14 X 19 X 8' | |
| Classe CA300 vs. Classe CA2200? Classe does make a new 300 watt stereo amp. The CA-2300.Reviews of this and the new model 300 and 600 watt monoblacks have been very positive by every reviewer. | |
| Which Harbeth? In your room I would use the SHL5's. | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? Thanks Miner42, I'm using the Delos right now, and agree with you. | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? Thanks Theo and Lloydc,Have you found the high freq. soft, or the cartridge overly warm and forgiving?Thanks again. | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? Thanks for the help. I will try get my hands on the Kleos and compare it to the delos and then both with my XV-1s in my system.Like the Delos quite a bit. | |
| Impressions of the BAT REX Dont be greedy ;)All I want is one more REXPower.Thought about moving to more power so I can move up to less sensitive YGA speakers, but freaked once so many people wanted it and pulled the add. Cant imagine not having this amp in my system. | |
| Cartridge around $2K help. Marakanetz,Your right, I have not been disappointed!I like this Delos enough that I'm wishing I would have gone ahead and got the Kleos. | |
| Impressions of the BAT REX Just wanted to add to this thread. I have been using the REX preamp for about two years and agree 110% with Inman29.Also, when paired with the REX amplifier, as good as I have heard in any price range. I have used this combo on three different spe... | |
| Cartridge around $2K help. It came down to the Lyra Delos and "the Voice'. Got the new Lyra and saved a few hundred bucks. In the end I wanted to keep it under 1500.00, and i have 30 days to try it when it gets here.Thanks! |
