Cyrus 8vs2 Stereo Amplifier

Ironic that such a small amplifier should generate such a massive sound" - What Hi Fi? Sound and Vision Awards 2007

The Cyrus Integrated 8 vs2 amplifier is the latest development of our internationally-acclaimed Cyrus integrated amplifier family. Given a top quality source, the Cyrus Integrated 8 vs2 will paint a truly three dimensional, acoustic picture, with stunningly focused staging of acoustic images. Over the last twenty years, Cyrus has learned to tune each element of the musical range accurately, so that today, the new Cyrus Integrated 8 vs2 is able to faithfully recreate the subtle balance between length of single notes and tonal accuracy.

The new Cyrus integrated 8 vs2 gives a precise sense of timing and rhythm, upon which much of music's magic is based. Accurate interplay between musicians is based upon subliminal information, and capturing this information is absolutely vital to the overall success of a hi-fi system. It is this ability of Cyrus to finely balance circuitry throughout our systems that makes our components sing. The Cyrus Integrated 8 vs2 is, we believe, a significant step forward in integrated amplifier design and will form a valuable and long-lasting cornerstone for your system. In the summer of 2005, we began a year long project to totally re-engineer our amplifiers, including component upgrades and our latest vs 2 preamp technology. This was an exciting project, running alongside new EU legislation relating to materials used within consumer electronics. This gave us the opportunity to include many improvements in our tooling and production processes.
