The 80 Series is designed to aesthetically stack with the smaller 40 Series.
Meaning should you wish to add a CD player or external phonostage (for multiple turntables - the 40 PPA has 4 inputs) you can easily integrate the additional 40 components with the fullsize 80 Series.
How does it sound?
Importantly the new Cyrus 80 AMP sounds exactly how you would have hoped; with effortless g rip and control over a wide range of speaker loads, incredible detail and clarity (thanks to the onboard ESS Sabre dac) of digital sources and that classic Cyrus tonality, but anchored with more body and richer bass.
We have tried this 80 AMP with a range of speakers and recommend you come and give it a try in our comfortable 2-channel listening room. We’ll provide the coffee too
