About to order Schiit Lyr... is it the right amp

All genres of music and using Q701's right now.  Knowing these are hard to drive HF's and the Lyr is very a strong amp plus the reviews make me believe it is a good fit. I plan on getting the 6BZ7 tubes and a set of the original ones.  

 

Secondary thought is when I start to add more HF the Lyr would be a good amp to have?? .

 

It seems my only other option that is a good match from doing research is the M-Stage...

 

I know alot of people have the Lyr so hoping for feedback before I order.

Lyr will drive cattle and herd cats, so yes, it is an excellent amp if you're expanding your HF arsenal.  6BZ7s are great tubes, and will bring out the best in your music collection, well until you roll tubes.  

 

Remember, the one who dies with the most HFs and tubes...WINS!atsmile.gif

 

CONGRATS on the new amp, you'll be pleased!

So do we die because we bought tubes instead of food?

Well, music is food for the soul. tongue.gif

Honestly, the Lyr is the best bang for your buck amp under $750 IMO. Enjoy.

I think you would have to go above 750 and it depends upon the tubes used and the source.

$750 is good enough for a combo: Shiit Lyr & Siemens & Halske CCa grey getter. I'm wondering which tier you could put it on regards to sound wise.

Not sure of the tier but the combo sounds incredible best tubes I have ever heard make the Lyr sound much more expensive.

I am enjoying the Lyr with the Siemens early 60's 6922. Then recently, I picked up a D getter 1957 Amperex NOS grey shield and quite rare. Now to find a mate.
