Hi, what are you looking for?
The Cyrus Audio Classic AMP and Classic PRE are the first products in their new and improved Classic Series product category.
Cyrus Audio is a high-end audio brand based in Cambridgeshire, England, and has been at the forefront of the audio scene for nearly 40 years.
Its first product, the Cyrus One (aka Cyrus 1) amplifier launched in 1984 to much acclaim. Since then Cyrus Audio has developed a reputation for offering quality audio products which include integrated amps, CD players, power amps, and power supplies, all of which are manufactured in England.
The new Cyrus Audio Classic Series offers popular product choices for many hi-fi fans, bringing the unique look and sound of Cyrus to a global audience.
Cyrus Audio has announced the launch of two new models to kickstart the new line of products in the new and improved Classic series. The front panel looks the same on both Classic AMP and PRE
The first two entries in the new Classic line are The Classic AMP, an integrated amplifier, and The Classic PRE, which is a preamplifier.
Both new products retain the Cyrus audio look, but the circuit design has been re-designed and the majority of the internal components have been upgraded by the Cyrus R&D team, resulting in sound improvements. The Classic AMP

Does the $3,799 Cyrus Audio i7-XR compete with the most popular options from Rega, Naim, and Cambridge Audio?
The Cyrus Audio i7-XR Integrated Amplifier is not exactly inexpensive but it can create some serious magic in a system between $7,500 and $10,000.
Tarun, A British Audiophile and eCoustics Editor-in-Chief Ian White team up to pick their favorite integrated amplifiers priced above $4,000.
Cyrus Audio have jumped onboard the BluOS train and we think that makes a lot of sense for a myriad of reasons.
The Cyrus One HD Integrated Amplifier is not inexpensive at $1,500 but nobody said that great sound quality would be cheap either.
While not inexpensive, the ProAc Response D2R loudspeakers are one of the best bookshelf loudspeakers available and ideal for a system around $8K.
