Cyrus’ FMX has a strong reputation as a serious FM tuner, with the sort of clean, stable analogue performance that still appeals to listeners who value broadcast radio done properly. At A$350, this looks like a fair-to-good buy rather than a steal; for a well-kept specialist tuner, that sits in the sensible part of the used market, especially if it includes the remote and is fully working.
What makes it worth considering is Cyrus build quality and the FMX’s niche appeal: it’s a compact, audiophile-grade box that can sound very composed on strong stations and is often bought by people who keep their FM front end for years. The main buy-side checks are simple but important: confirm it locks stations cleanly, the display and controls behave properly, and the antenna input is intact. If it’s tidy and complete, this is an easy one to like at the asking price.

Cyrus Audio: Heritage and Philosophy
Cyrus Audio emerged in 1984 as a specialist electronics brand spun off from loudspeaker manufacturer Mission, with the goal of creating amplifiers to complement Mission speakers. Founded under the direction of Peter Bartlett, a veteran from NAD, the company established its identity with the Cyrus One integrated amplifier—a half-width design featuring the distinctive "control lip" that remains iconic in audiophile circles today. The brand quickly positioned itself as a pioneer in compact, high-performance audio, and later became one of the first manufacturers to champion the Compact Disc format through its partnership with Philips in the early 1980s. After separating from Mission in the 1990s, Bartlett returned Cyrus to private ownership, where it remains independently operated from its Cambridgeshire headquarters.
Cyrus has maintained unwavering focus as a two-channel hi-fi specialist, eschewing multiroom or surround formats. The company's product portfolio centers on integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, CD players, digital-to-analog converters, and power supplies—all engineered around the principle of delivering high-end sound quality in compact form factors. The brand also pioneered networked audio, developing early high-performance music servers that demonstrated premium sound could be achieved in convenient, integrated packages.
Today, Cyrus occupies a distinctive position as a boutique, high-end British manufacturer that prioritizes sonic excellence and longevity over market size. Under current CEO Nick Clarke, the company continues evolving its Classic series—refined continuously since 1983—and the XR series, developed from scratch using cutting-edge DAC technology and UK manufacturing. Cyrus products consistently earn critical acclaim and industry awards, appealing to discerning audiophiles who value British engineering, meticulous design, and uncompromising sound quality over mass-market accessibility.
