Compared with a like-for-like used alternative at £358, this asking price of £292 looks attractively placed: it sits comfortably below the £358 median and just above the £254 25th percentile, so it reads as a solid value rather than an auction-room bargain. It is not quite a steal, but it is priced well enough to be on the shortlist rather than the watchlist.
That makes sense for a Cyrus integrated: these are usually bought for their tidy, punchy sound, compact footprint, and genuinely useful everyday features like the phono stage and Bluetooth, which broaden the appeal beyond purist hi-fi setups. With the remote included, this should be an easy, flexible amp for a second system or a neat main setup, and at this level I’d treat it as a worthwhile buy if it’s clean, fully working, and the seller can confirm the phono/Bluetooth functions behave properly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
