Yes they are and the distributor is lucky to have them both. I'm pretty sure they've sold a lot of tandems by now based on the synergy I witnessed.

Great stuff! Would love to read more about your impressions of that system...was it Arnies? In any event would particularly appreciate any more color you can provide on the CH/Arrakis combination than what you felt was the 'tube amp presentation'. Thanks!I've heard Arrakis with CH Precision monos and preamp and it is a very good combination. Very fast articulate with fantastic dynamics. however, it's quite different than a tube amp presentation so it depends what is to your liking.
And yes it was Arnie's (he's obviously the best source of info on the component changes).(...)
Also, does anyone know what amplifiers Andy Payor uses during R&D? Thanks
I heard a pair of Lyra’s with Gryphon Mephisto‘s with an Accuphase as front end at my local dealers = Pure Bliss
What did you think of the Lyra's? Most interested to hear about these, since they have come many years AFTER the Arrakis.My local Rockport dealer has been using the Doshi amps to power the Lyras. Very fine sound.

Absolutely, I am extremely happy with them...and only a major, major change could entice me to switch. Why? Any suggestions?Lloyd you still have the X1 s?
Thanks...good to know.My dealer switched from being a Magico dealer to a Rockport dealer last year. So I heard the Magicos - usually the top of the line, and then the Rockport Lyra's. Not the previous one. However, the Rockports were a nice step up from the Magicos. The Magicos also needed a much more expensive electronics (the big Constellations) to get their best sound compared with the Lyras which did wonderfully with the Doshis. Both the top Magicos (Q7's IIRC), and Lyras are in the same price range.
