-Cyrus 8VS Amplifier Quartz Silver (Pre-Owned)

The advanced Cyrus 8vs amplifier is the latest development of the internationally acclaimed Cyrus integrated amplifier family. Given a top quality source the Cyrus 8vs will paint a truly 3 dimensional acoustic picture with stunningly focused staging of images. Over the last 20 years Cyrus has learned to tune each section of the musical range accurately, so today the Cyrus 8vs is able to faithfully recreate the subtle balance between length of single notes and tonal accuracy

The Cyrus 8vs's sophisticated circuitry required extensive re-tuning after the inclusion of the vs preamp topology. This was a big project lasting 8 months which ensured that the all important low level musical information was being transferred accurately to the listener. Just as in every Cyrus product, only once this subtle information is correctly balanced can the amp provides the precise sense of timing and rhythm upon which much of music's magic is based. Accurate interplay between musicians is based on 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 8vs is, we believe, a significant step forward in integrated amplifier design and will form a valuable and long-lasting cornerstone for your system.
