$2k is a lot for a cartridge. By all accounts the Lyra is worth it, but you probably need at least $5k table/arm and $3k phono stage plus really good cable to get the most out of it.
what is a good match? Everyone will give a different answer based on his experience. I think, it is ok, the Kleos has a different needle than the Delos. the Kleos is more expensive than Delos but inferior in comparison when you really want to have maximum sonic Performance for given money. The Kleos works way better with cheap Phonostages or average Arms than Delos. The better the analog chain will be the Delos can follow and show something new, Kleos not. From this point of view the Kleos is a good match.
What arms IYO will satisfy the Delos? Would the JMW 10 3D arm of VPI Prime will satisfy it? For reference, my ears are bit sensitive to treble/highs; so definitely no bright or thin carts.
