Cyrus Audio
Founded in 1984 with the launch of the iconic Cyrus One amplifier, Cyrus Audio has remained an independent British brand devoted to precision audio engineering. Unlike many competitors, Cyrus continues to design, assemble, and manufacture all of its products in the UK, maintaining the prestigious Made in Britain label.
Cutting-Edge Modularity Across Classic, XR & 40 Series
Cyrus offers a comprehensive range of modular Hi-Fi components across three main product lines:
Classic Series: A refreshed take on the original Cyrus design, updated since 2022.
XR Series: A performance step up with improved power supplies and circuit refinement.
40 Series: The new high-end reference range featuring minimalist aesthetics, full modularity, and premium materials.
Key models include the 40 AMP integrated amplifier, 40 ST BluOS streamer, 40 CD transport, and the 40 PSU external power supply—all built in compact, signature “half-width” enclosures that save space without sacrificing performance.
