Cyrus Audio

Welcome to Cyrus Audio

Come and discover music with us…

As you browse our website we hope to share with you both our passion for hi-fi, and of course give you enough information to appreciate what Cyrus offers over and above the many ordinary audio systems available on the market today.

The Cyrus mission
Cyrus is a medium sized, privately owned, specialist audio company populated with 30 + staff that enjoy wide experience of designing and building, better than average, hi-fi systems.  Music has been a prominent part of all our lives and we highly value its positive contribution to our culture. A really well designed hi-fi system will sound much better than the digital portable systems that have made music so accessible today. A Cyrus system can be much, much better at transmitting the passion, emotion and fun into your home and adding a whole new dimension to your life.

Made in the UK
We understand that our decision to design, manufacture and support our products in the UK can seem quite unusual today. The reason we do this is because we have very high quality standards that we find challenging to match overseas.  It is our experience that working with specialist subcontractors, closer to our factory, better suits the quality standards we aim for; and that although manufacturing audio in the UK is very unusual in electronics these days, our customers, who call for higher quality products, appreciate our superior standards.

Design for the absolute best audio quality, manufacture intelligently
This site is designed to share with you, our love of what a really well designed audio system can sound like at home. Of course, to have earned such critical acclaim, we are accomplished engineers, and able to innovate in a fast moving technical world like electronic design. But our skills deliver much more than technically accomplished specifications. The Cyrus team wants to use our experience to transmit the passion and emotion held within all recordings, into our customers’ homes, and this requires a combined range talents that very few audio companies enjoy.

Three levels of performance
We build three ranges, each benefitting from our most advanced ideas that cascade down to our more affordable models over time. 

X Series represents our most advanced thinking and includes many unique engineering elements designed in our own labs to push at the boundaries of what is possible in domestic audio today. 

8 Series benefits from many X Series ideas and applies a more affordable range of components to deliver very accomplished, multi-award-winning, components.

6 Series is our entry level range but is based based upon 8 Series production and therefore benefits from more advanced circuits than normally found at these price points. Because our engineering and production is scalable, we can deliver outstanding 6 Series value to a wider audience.

Upgradeability, long term added value
Our amplifiers, CD players and Streamers are all designed using our scalable design principles. This means our highest performance models use chassis and electronic components that we can buy in larger quantities, thereby enabling Cyrus to offer quite unprecedented value even in our most advanced and expensive models.

The 8 Series benefits in a similar way. For instance, the aluminium chassis we developed for many audiophile reasons for our most advanced X Series can be shared with other ranges. The core circuits and building blocks are very often made in the same batches as the X series so they can enjoy the performance of the advanced designs but we can build them using more affordable components.

Another benefit of this design approach is that we can offer very affordable upgrade options. A customer buying into our 6 series range, can over many years, upgrade the initial investment, through a well-established number of factory upgrades, all the way up to the X Series. You can also upgrade a cherished component as we launch newer models.

Each group of models has an overview page and then a product page for each model. This is further subdivided to allow you to decide how technically advanced you want your research to be.

Many thanks for visiting Cyrus Audio; our goal is to fulfil your ambitions of building a superb audio system.
