Cyrus has introduced a pair of new stereo power amplifiers – one each for its XR and Classic ranges. The company explains: “These new Class A/B stereo amplifiers have a lower noise floor than previous power amps from Cyrus, allowing them to retain more of the fine details, but with high current drive to cater for more demanding loudspeaker loads”.

The Classic POWER’s circuit topology has been completely re-designed, the majority of the internal components have been upgraded and it responds from DC to beyond 50kHz, which Cyrus says ensures: “ruler flat frequency response while keeping any undesirable phase shifts out of the audio band”. The power supply boasts a 408VA toroidal power transformer and the amp includes a port for the PSX-R2 power supply. Power from the PSX-R2 is routed internally to the voltage amplifier stage of the Classic POWER and it can be remotely switched to and from a low consumption standby mode via MC-BUS or using the 12V trigger input.

It weighs 7.3kg, measures 215 x 75 x 355mm (WxHxD) and is priced at £2,400.

Cyrus explains that the Power-XR responds from DC to beyond 100kHz, the power supply includes a 408VA toroidal power transformer and a port for the new PSU-XR power supply, which the company says sources five independent regulated supplies in a single box. For the Power-XR a pair of these is assigned to provide power for the voltage amplifier and a second pair to offer a boost for the power amplifier.

The LED colour and brightness will automatically set to match the colour and brightness settings via MC-BUS from the master XR product in the system and the Power-XR can be remotely switched to and from a low consumption in the same way as the Classic POWER.

It weighs 7.3kg, measures 215 x 75 x 355mm (WxHxD) and is priced at £2,100. Both are housed within a half-width die-cast hand-finished aluminium chassis.
