Description
The Cyrus 8XP is a high performance integrated stereo amplifier. It is based around a new twin transformer power supply that allows separation of control systems and audio. The 350VA main transformer provides huge dynamic power and a stunning sound.
The 8 XP is very well specified with a generous power output, six analogue inputs, a zone 2 output which allows two listeners to enjoy different sources of music in different rooms, Bi-wireable speaker terminals, headphone output with a good quality amplifier, Pre-amplifier output (for bi-amping), large clear high quality LCD screen, and a sophisticated control system with system remote control are all provided. Input sensitivity matching is also included.
The 8 XP is upgradeable with the PSX-R or factory upgrade to the 8XP d with the addition of 5 digital inputs including USB to allow connection of a computer to play files back through the on-board Cyrus quality DAC.

More Details
The XP platform is designed so that we can invest strongly one main project and derive several versions that benefit from this larger investment. The 8 XP benefited from the core engineering invested to design the new Pre XP model. We then incorporate a new version of our highly dynamic 2 x 70 watt power amplifier plus a new twin transformer power supply to take advantage of new components that have recently become available. The twin transformers feed two separate power supply stages each with further sub regulation. The main 350 VA Toroidal transformer with 5 regulated rails is twinned with a separate toroidal transformer for control systems. The result will surprise customers new to Cyrus as they discover truly high-end performance from a surprisingly compact Cyrus die-cast chassis.
Because of these attributes the Cyrus Integrated 8 XP is able to deliver remarkable performance. 70W into 8 is the conservative rating but the amplifier can deliver over 300 watts for short dynamic bursts of music. The performance is both very subtle yet powerful enough to convincingly replay large scale music such a major symphonic or powerful rock programs. In an age where compressed digital sources are popular, amplifiers capable of this dynamic urge are going to become increasingly important to the quality conscious music fan.
