Lyra Titan i and Olympos SL

Has anyone heard both the Lyra Titan i and Olympos SL? Can he/she tell me the sonic differences between the two? Your comment is most appreciated. Thank you.

I wonder if his wife writes the check for the Ferrari, oh yes maybe she drives it.... Only place for "money" hear I guess is from the beatles, pink floyd and......writing about its place in life, outside of this place. The money will never bring you the pleasure, music will.... Tim

It's kind of a moot point to be talking about the Titan i -- and I own one -- since it's a four or five year old design that has held up well to the test of time. I'd however, be waiting to hear the new gen of Lyras, esp the Titan i successor that will be coming out this year as I'm told (as we know in high-end, things rarely get released as planned!).

This one is playing very good. But also the Titan i Mono is a great design. I love it. If Lyra can beat the Titan i design in this price range I doubt a little...at the moment they have some stocking problems as I heard.
