Angeboten wird „HARK III“ von Cyrus als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Audio-Möbel“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9184191841 endet am 22.09.2026 um 06:10 Uhr.
This €499 asking price for the Cyrus HARK III is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of €700 and far under the median of €1,271 from your 24 recent EUR listings. While new units typically retail around €1,150–€1,200 (converted from £999), finding this sturdy 4-shelf rack in used condition at nearly half the median market value represents genuine upside for any builder.
The HARK III is well-regarded for its solid engineering and custom-fit design that supports up to eight Cyrus Classic or XR components with fully adjustable shelf heights. At this price, it’s a clear buying opportunity—especially if it includes the original 4 shelves and shows original-owner condition with minimal wear. No caveats apply here; this is a rare chance to grab a premium hi-fi stand at an excellent entry point.

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.
