Cyrus Classic POWER & PRE (Black)

As part of a classic duo, the Cyrus Classic POWER amplifier delivers the brawn to match the pre-amp’s brains.

Power to please
Designed to be paired with the Cyrus Classic PRE, but also great with many other devices, the Cyrus Classic POWER amplifier packs an impressive punch. With 87 watts per channel using 8 ohm speakers and up to 144 watts with 4 ohm speakers, it has effortless reserves of power to easily fill larger rooms with sound. Very low levels of distortion means that the power is delivered cleanly, producing lifelike detail, even at higher volume levels.

Signature Cyrus sound
Although this is a punchy-sounding amp when needed, Cyrus hasn’t forgotten about its reputation for precision and detail. Hand built in the UK, the Classic POWER shows typical Cyrus attention to detail. Within the high quality casing is an oversized toroidal mains transformer and high output capacitors. Combined with the short signal path circuitry, this delivers typical Cyrus sound – dynamic, precise and with every subtle detail finely reproduced.

Studio quality, XLR connections
As well as the more usual RCA phono inputs, the Classic POWER also features balanced XLR connections. Use these with a matching Cyrus pre-amp, such as the Classic PRE or even the Pre-XR, and you’ll enjoy a studio quality, ultra-low noise connection. Balanced cables isolate outside noise, letting you enjoy a clearer signal – especially over longer lengths.

Upgrade with a PSX-R2
Power supplies have a great effect on overall sound quality, which is why Cyrus offer the PSX-R2 as a plug-in upgrade for this, and many other Cyrus products. Using a large toroidal transformer and high output, audiophile-grade capacitors, the PSX-R2 provides the Classic POWER with a smooth, stable power feed that helps bring out fine detail and musical subtlety, that’s otherwise lost in the mix.

Unique Cyrus design and quality
The distinctive Cyrus casing offers a number of advantages over more traditional hi-fi. The classic, die-cast casing is extremely solid and strongly resists both electrical and mechanical interference from surrounding sources. Integrated heat sink vents also keep it cool in the most discreet and stylish fashion. In terms of practically, Cyrus is a great space saver, with two units taking the space of one on most hi-fi shelves.

Add some oomph to your music, with the Cyrus Classic POWER.

Packing a mighty spec into its compact casing, the Cyrus Classic PRE delivers absolute sonic precision, from all your music sources.

The hub of your Cyrus system
Designed to be paired with the Classic POWER or Stereo 200 power amplifiers, the Cyrus Classic PRE plays a vital role in getting the very best from your Cyrus system. Because the pre-amplifier section has a dedicated power supply and sits in its own casing, the sound quality is much improved over the integrated Cyrus amps. All the digital and analogue connectivity that makes these amps so popular is still present and correct, making the Classic PRE every bit as system friendly.

Precise, engaging sound quality
If you’re already familiar with the Cyrus sound then the Classic PRE will easily live up to expectations. If you’re new to the brand then prepare to be impressed. Using an analogue pre-amp section and precision switches, the Classic PRE has the smooth, precise sound that Cyrus is famous for. If you want to hear straight to the heart of the recording, then this is the perfect place to start.

Studio grade XLR balanced outputs
For the best possible sound, the Classic PRE offers balanced XLR outputs. Compatible with the Classic POWER and Stereo 200, XLRs deliver a studio-grade connection. Balanced cables offer better shielding and a more stable signal, especially over longer distances, letting you hear every detail that the Classic PRE is capable of.

Built-in DAC with coaxial and optical inputs
Two optical and two coaxial digital inputs let you connect up to four digital sources and take advantage of the high quality DAC. The DAC chip is the same as that fitted to the award-winning QXR DAC, making this an ace with digital conversion. Plug in your TV, games console, CD player and more, with this flexible amp.

High quality turntable input
As well as four RCA line inputs, the Classic PRE also comes equipped with a MM (Moving Magnet) turntable input. This design features dual active gain stages and passive RIAA equalisation for high resolution, low distortion sound.

Wide range of other connectivity
For such a compact unit, the Classic PRE packs a lot in. As well as the raft of digital and analogue inputs, the amp also has a headphone output, pre-amp outs (balanced and RCA), recording loop and linking ports for connecting other Cyrus units and upgrading the power supply.

Upgrade with a PSX-R
Like other Cyrus products, the Classic PRE offers a clear upgrade path. Even though it already has excellent sound, it can easily be improved. By adding Cyrus's famous PSX-R power supply, the Classic PRE benefits from the PSX-R’s ultra-low noise power supply. Feeding separate power signals to the amp’s analogue and digital stages you get a cleaner sound with improved definition and reduced distortion.
