Hello,
I recently started a thread on this, you may want to search.
Anyway, I went from a Kleos to a Kleos SL with the JC3+. It will work fine as long as you don't sit really close to efficient speakers. There is some increase in noise level but it shouldn't be noticeable under normal circumstances.
I saw a mention in Absolute Sound about the Etna SL being less dynamic than the standard version. In my setup, the Kleos SL is more dynamic than the standard Kleos. The SL is more detailed and piano might have a touch less weight, but the loss of weight is not a big difference and the extra overtones/texture is worth the trade off for me.
In my opinion the Kleos is the sweet spot in the Lyra lineup, but I'm biased.
Happy Listening,
Robert
