Lyra Olympos SL: Discontinued?

Hi all,

For a couple of years I have lusted after a Lyra Olympos SL. I know about the donor Parnassus requirement; I have had a Parnassus for about 15 years. :-)

Anyway, I am now able to contemplate such a purchase, but was told that no more Olymposes are being made, even for those with a suitable donor Parnassus. Is this correct? (Hopefully John Carr will see this post and be able to provide an authoritative answer!)

Obviously, if the Olympos is indeed no longer being made, I guess the logical alternative would be an Atlas. To those that have heard both the Atlas and Olympos SL, what are your thoughts, and how do they compare (and how do they compare to the Parnassus)? I guess this is another one for JCarr for the time being! :-)

Many thanks in advance for any insight!

Hi Jonathan,

Is Lyra supporting any sort of trade-in program for the Atlas? I have a Titan.

Hi Larry: Yes, assuredly we are. But being the engineering guy rather than the business guy, I don't know what the per-model trade-in values are.

I am reasonably sure that the list of models vs. trade-in values has been put into circulation among the Lyra dealer network; chances are that you can talk to your dealer and he will be able to tell you the answer(s). And if that doesn't pan out for whatever reason, you could call Audioquest and talk to Alasdair Patrick.

kind regards, jonathan carr
