The Orion compared to the Lyra.
To my ears, it's not a subtle difference...
Both are tremendously good at what they do and don't do but...
The Orion compared to the Lyra sounded ummm "colored" in comparison..
I would take the Orion over YG, Magico, and Wilson..
The Lyra did a better job in everything... As it should and if that's what you're definition of better is..
For me it was.
Did the Lyra sound bigger?

As of today, LYNX has more in common with LYRA in terms of concept and (cabinet) construction. ORION wins in terms of size and impact to the smaller LYNX though where room size, preferences and budget all influence the decision making.

Did you try your Lyra with spikes instead of pads?

I just have used the supplied feet, it's a concave disc so most of the weight is on the outer edge....I have them on hardwood now...carpet previous house...they seem firmly grounded and stable. But - I don't know what I haven't tried.....
