Cyrus Audio 80 Series streaming integrated, streaming preamp, power amp
Launch of the Cyrus 40 Series in October 2024 was heralded as a ‘new beginning’; that continues today with the Munich High-End launch of their 80 Series, three products in full-width format.
The 80 series delivers, for the first time, a range of ‘full width’ products from Cyrus and represents a bold next step for the British audio brand, which has confidently been attached to the half-width form for over 40 years. Not necessarily a direction change for the marque, rather reacting to customer demands.
Nick Clarke, MD of Cyrus Audio, said, “I am very proud to present these 80 series products as the next logical evolution of the brand, as we show that, as a fresh new team, we are flexible and responsive to the needs of our customers. Also, this latest ‘expansion’ is far from the end – trust me, there’s still more to come!”.
The additional space provided in the full-width form factor has given the engineering team at Cyrus a much larger playground for them to really flex their design skills. One key area that will benefit will be the power supply, allowing all the performance benefits previously applied by adding an external PSU to the product to be included in the product.
The 80 series is expected to be launched in November 2025 and will consist of three products:
The 80 AMP is a 150W per channel, class A/B streaming integrated amplifier, with BluOS streaming platform at its core.
The 80 PRE preamplifier also has the BluOS streaming platform built in, and will blend perfectly with the 80 PWR, a 200W per channel class A/B power amplifier, which provides the option to switch to mono and 300W of bridgeable power. The 40 CD and 40 PPA can easily be added to either of the 80 AMP or 80 PRE to create mis-n-match systems.
Prices for the individual 80 series products are likely to range from £5,000-£6,000.
