Spicing Up Traditions: Cyrus Audio's Game-Changing 80 Series

It's a brand-new era for Cyrus Audio! Ditching their four-decade-long signature half-width design, they've stepped into the realm of full-width products, making their debut at High End Munich 2025.

Cyrus' renowned 40 Series, launched in 2024, paved the way for a refreshed era for the venerable brand. The sleek modern designs brought a breath of fresh air, aligning the brand with the present day while still maintaining a hint of their iconic, modernised half-width design. And, it's safe to say, the 40 ST streamer, 40 CD player, and 40 AMP integrated amplifier all left buyers impressed with their stellar performance for the price, earning top marks in our reviews!

But here's the twist: the brand assures us that the 80 Series is merely an extension of that 40 Series casework. The additional space in the full-width design grants the Cyrus team "an expansive playground" to demonstrate their design prowess even further! What's more, the 40 Series' external power supply unit (the 40 PSU) now finds a home within the 80 Series products, bringing along its performance perks!

Fear not, dear Cyrus loyalists! While the brand is taking a bold step with the 80 Series, Chris Hutcheson, Head of Marketing, affirms that they will continue to produce their beloved half-width products. The 80 Series, according to Hutcheson, represents a "wise and pragmatic expansion" of the brand—designed to capture the attention of customers who have yet to consider Cyrus perhaps solely due to the compact size of their products.

Step into the 80 Series and meet three exciting new products: the 80 AMP streaming amplifier, the 80 PRE network preamplifier, and the 80 PWR power amplifier. The 80 AMP sports a hearty 150W per channel of Class A/B amplification and boasts a trendy selection of streaming features like Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, and Roon Ready. It also comes equipped with an MM/MC phono stage, a large touchscreen panel, and eye-catching illuminated dials.

Ready to up the ante? Check out the 80 PRE and 80 PWR! The 80 PRE dons the same network streaming capability as the AMP, prepared to complement the 80 PWR power amplifier. The 80 PWR is no slouch, either, boasting 200W per channel of Class A/B amplification when used as a stereo setup or 300W when used as a mono setup for serious kick!

Gaze upon the press photos, and it's clear the full-width chassis boasts the dimensions of two 40 Series products, and the 40 CD player and 40 PPA phono stage can join the 80 Series suite!

The much-awaited 80 Series will hit shelves in November, stamping a price tag between £5,000 and £6,000. Cyrus is setting their sights on fierce competition with audio powerhouses like Naim, Linn, and Hegel!

The 40 Series may have been priced between £3,000 and £4,000; the 80 Series ups the ante, positioning Cyrus further at the premium table in the hi-fi market. It's one heck of a bold leap from Cyrus, and we can't wait to see if the 80 Series delivers the same level of unparalleled sound quality that we've come to admire in the 40 Series!

But there's more to come! Nick Clarke, Cyrus' MD, hints at more surprises on the horizon: "I assure you, the 80 Series introduction is merely the beginning—trust me, there's still more to come!"

We can hardly contain our excitement! So, be prepared to dive headfirst into the exquisite world of the Cyrus 80 Series, where classic designs intertwine with innovative technology to deliver a premium audio experience!
