The pair will be demonstrated ahead of its official launch in the Doug Brady HiFi room at De Vere Cranage Estate in Cheshire on June 27 and 28.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyrus has spent more than four decades building its reputation around compact half width components, so the 80 Series is not a subtle change of direction. It is the company\u2019s first full width range, aimed at listeners who want the convenience of BluOS streaming, HDMI eARC, vinyl playback, balanced connections, and real Class A\/B power without assembling a rack full of unrelated boxes. Cyrus first unveiled the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/products\/cyrus-audio-80-series\/\">80 Series during High End Munich 2025<\/a>, showing the new full-width components at Motorworld Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyrus has never quite received the attention it deserves from North American listeners. That is not because the Cambridgeshire manufacturer lacks engineering chops or musical credibility. eCoustics has spent the past several years covering and reviewing Cyrus components, including the One HD, i7-XR, CDi-XR, 40 Series, and now the 80 Series, and the pattern has been rather consistent: thoughtfully engineered products with real sonic authority, strong phono stages, and a design language that has always been more distinctive than universally embraced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a market where Naim, Rega, Cambridge Audio, and Linn command far more dealer-floor oxygen, Cyrus has remained something of a cult favorite. The 80 PRE and 80 PWR may finally give the brand a more obvious path into larger North American systems and conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/cyrus-audio-i7-xr\/\">Cyrus Audio I7-XR Integrated Amplifier: Review<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/cyrus-audio-cdi-xr\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/cyrus-audio-cdi-xr\/\">Cyrus Audio CDi-XR CD Player: Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cyrus-80-pre-brings-streaming-vinyl-and-tv-into-one-box\">Cyrus 80 PRE Brings Streaming, Vinyl and TV Into One Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"543\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cyrus-80-pre-front.jpg\" alt=\"cyrus-80-pre-front\" class=\"wp-image-323187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cyrus-80-pre-front.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cyrus-80-pre-front-768x463.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 80 PRE is far more than a conventional line stage. Cyrus has built BluOS streaming directly into the preamplifier, along with an ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M DAC and support for lossless playback up to 24 bit\/192 kHz. It is also Roon Ready, supports AirPlay 2 and MQA decoding, and uses a five inch color TFT display rather than the tiny windows and ancient button arrays that still plague more than a few upscale components.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connectivity is properly comprehensive. The 80 PRE includes four analog inputs, MM and MC phono inputs, two optical and two coaxial digital inputs, asynchronous USB B, HDMI eARC, balanced XLR input and output, plus both standard and balanced headphone outputs. That makes it a legitimate control center for a mixed system with a turntable, television, computer, streamer, and power amplifier all under one roof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Cyrus, the larger chassis is the story. The company has finally given its engineers more physical space to work with, while still allowing the 80 Series to pair with its smaller 40 Series components. That means owners could use the 80 PRE with the 40 CD, 40 PPA phono stage, or TTP turntable rather than being forced into a single all or nothing ecosystem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cyrus-80-pwr-adds-200-watts-of-class-a-b-power\">Cyrus 80 PWR Adds 200 Watts of Class A\/B Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"521\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cyrus-80-pwr-front.jpg\" alt=\"cyrus-80-pwr-front\" class=\"wp-image-323188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cyrus-80-pwr-front.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cyrus-80-pwr-front-768x445.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The matching 80 PWR is a Class A\/B power amplifier rated at 200 watts in stereo mode and 300 watts when bridged for mono operation. It uses balanced XLR inputs and can be run as a stereo amplifier initially, with a second unit added later for a monoblock system. That is a sensible upgrade path for listeners with difficult loudspeakers or rooms that require more headroom than an integrated amplifier can comfortably provide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyrus has not yet published the usual deeper measurements that serious buyers will want to see, including the impedance at which those power ratings are measured, damping factor, distortion, and dynamic output into lower loads. The published specifications confirm the basic architecture and headline power, but not the full engineering autopsy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 80 PRE and 80 PWR are significant because they represent Cyrus\u2019s first serious full width separates platform, combining BluOS streaming, HDMI eARC, MM\/MC phono, balanced connectivity, and Class A\/B power in a system designed to grow with the owner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we still do not know is just as important: final pricing, release timing, 4 ohm output, distortion and damping figures, power supply details, and whether the new larger format delivers the authority Cyrus is promising. Cranage will reveal whether this is a proper Yorkshire pudding or merely a well dressed souffl\u00e9 that collapses the moment the DALI speakers get demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-demo-system-amp-availability\">Demo System &amp; Availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug Brady HiFi will demonstrate the 80 PRE and 80 PWR with the Cyrus TTP turntable, Cyrus 40 Series phono preamplifier, and DALI Epikore 3 standmount loudspeakers in the Stephenson 2 room. The setup is clearly intended to show that Cyrus sees the 40 and 80 Series as complementary rather than competing ranges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyrus\u2019s product pages currently list no pricing or formal retail date. UK retailer listings, however, show the 80 PRE at <strong>$5,995<\/strong> (\u00a34,499)&nbsp;and the 80 PWR at <strong>$5,295<\/strong>&nbsp;(\u00a33,999), with availability expected in August 2026. Those figures should be treated as dealer information until Cyrus confirms final pricing and availability market by market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information: <a href=\"https:\/\/cyrusaudio.com\/products\/80-pre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cyrusaudio.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reading\">Related Reading:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/products\/cyrus-audio-40-ppa\/\">Cyrus Audio Releases 40 PPA Phono Preamp: Best Below $3,000?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/products\/cyrus-audio-80-series\/\">Cyrus Audio 80 Series Goes Full Width: Finally Shedding Half-Width Humbug After 40 Years \u2014 Who Knew Bigger Could Be This Bloody Brilliant<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/products\/cyrus-audio-40-series\/\">Cyrus Audio\u2019s 40 Series Components Represent A Major Refresh For The British Manufacturer<\/a>  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyrus Audio 80 PRE and 80 PWR make their first public demo at North West Audio Show 2026, pairing BluOS streaming with Class A\/B power.

White has been covering consumer audio, home theater, and A\/V since 1998, which means he has spent nearly three decades watching perfectly sensible products slowly evolve into more expensive versions of themselves with extra steps. His work has appeared in eCoustics, The New York Times, Gear Patrol, Digital Trends, JAZZIZ, Big Picture Big Sound, SoundStage, Enjoy the Music, and The Jerusalem Post, covering everything from high-end audio, home theater, movies, music, food, and the connected city. He\u2019s a certified ISF calibrator, a former Lead Copywriter, and a veteran of the quieter corners of threat engineering and cybersecurity, where nothing works without approval and someone is always asking about the TPS report. Academically, he holds a degree in Near Eastern Affairs with minors in Judaic Studies and Forensic Science. His worldview is shaped by history rather than theory: grandson of Holocaust survivors, descendant of Irgun founders, and named after an IDF tank commander killed during the Yom Kippur War. Born in Toronto, his upbringing ricocheted between Washington D.C., Chicago, Rockville, Northern Israel, Arkham Asylum, and a few other formative environments best discussed off the record, before settling in New Jersey, and South Florida\u2014because chaos, like mold, thrives in humidity and traffic. He was conceived at a drive-in movie (yes, really) and has since watched more than 5,733 films across eight countries, though he will still go to his grave insisting he waited only seven days, not eight, to see The Phantom Menace. When he\u2019s not writing, Ian collects vintage film posters, books, and an unreasonable amount of Star Wars, Detroit Red Wings and Washington Capitals memorabilia. He\u2019s a professional-grade foodie and former pizza maker whose loyalties lie with dim sum, biltong, curry, pizza, deli sandwiches, pho, and Korean BBQ. Weekends involve parenting, Shul, record digging, scribbling notes in his Hemingway-inspired shawl cardigan, rewatching movies he\u2019s already memorized, firing slapshots at the garage door like it\u2019s Game 7, and casting into the Atlantic Gulf Stream in search of dinner, clarity, and whatever\u2019s left of his moral compass.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/soundscreenandcuredjudgment\/\",\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ian-d-white-969a48160\/\"],\"knowsAbout\":[\"Fishing\",\"cooking\",\"writing\",\"cleaning pots\"],\"knowsLanguage\":[\"English\",\"French\",\"Hebrew\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/author\/ian-white\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Cyrus Audio 80 PRE and 80 PWR Set for First Public Demo at North West Audio Show 2026 - ecoustics.com","description":"Cyrus Audio 80 PRE and 80 PWR make their first public demo at North West Audio Show 2026, pairing BluOS streaming with Class A\/B power.

White has been covering consumer audio, home theater, and A\/V since 1998, which means he has spent nearly three decades watching perfectly sensible products slowly evolve into more expensive versions of themselves with extra steps. His work has appeared in eCoustics, The New York Times, Gear Patrol, Digital Trends, JAZZIZ, Big Picture Big Sound, SoundStage, Enjoy the Music, and The Jerusalem Post, covering everything from high-end audio, home theater, movies, music, food, and the connected city. He\u2019s a certified ISF calibrator, a former Lead Copywriter, and a veteran of the quieter corners of threat engineering and cybersecurity, where nothing works without approval and someone is always asking about the TPS report. Academically, he holds a degree in Near Eastern Affairs with minors in Judaic Studies and Forensic Science. His worldview is shaped by history rather than theory: grandson of Holocaust survivors, descendant of Irgun founders, and named after an IDF tank commander killed during the Yom Kippur War. Born in Toronto, his upbringing ricocheted between Washington D.C., Chicago, Rockville, Northern Israel, Arkham Asylum, and a few other formative environments best discussed off the record, before settling in New Jersey, and South Florida\u2014because chaos, like mold, thrives in humidity and traffic. He was conceived at a drive-in movie (yes, really) and has since watched more than 5,733 films across eight countries, though he will still go to his grave insisting he waited only seven days, not eight, to see The Phantom Menace. When he\u2019s not writing, Ian collects vintage film posters, books, and an unreasonable amount of Star Wars, Detroit Red Wings and Washington Capitals memorabilia. He\u2019s a professional-grade foodie and former pizza maker whose loyalties lie with dim sum, biltong, curry, pizza, deli sandwiches, pho, and Korean BBQ. Weekends involve parenting, Shul, record digging, scribbling notes in his Hemingway-inspired shawl cardigan, rewatching movies he\u2019s already memorized, firing slapshots at the garage door like it\u2019s Game 7, and casting into the Atlantic Gulf Stream in search of dinner, clarity, and whatever\u2019s left of his moral compass.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/soundscreenandcuredjudgment\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ian-d-white-969a48160\/"],"knowsAbout":["Fishing","cooking","writing","cleaning pots"],"knowsLanguage":["English","French","Hebrew"],"url":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/author\/ian-white\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323020"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":323189,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323020\/revisions\/323189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
