I wouldn’t necessarily say better. I have heard both extensively. I spent hours at Rockports listening room with the Lyra. It’s a great speaker. The beauty of Orion is the god like execution of its simple design. It’s as far as a dynamic 3 driver 3 way can go at this point on planet earth. Very few people have had enough time with both. My guess is that of those who have there would be different opinions. I liked the Orion. The 13 inch driver is a different beast than the 2 10s. I think we sometimes spend too much time trying to calculate an absolute when we should simply enjoy what we enjoy whatever that is. They are both great. They are different. They have a similar Rockport sound. Either one will make you very happy if you’re primarily a music fan. Listen for yourself and see if Lyras added incremental resolution justifies its added price. I go back and forth on this still. What a great problem to have!
