Strengths: excellent soundWeaknesses: no remote controlBottom Line: I bought my Cyrus one 6 years ago together witch a huge Harman Kardon-50pound-100W amp, just because the cheap shoe-box made me curious - expecting nothing new. At home I could hardly trust my ears, there was so much soundstage, precise and powerfull sound and an exellent stereo image. Compared to my other amps including the Harman Kardon I felt like removing a curtain from the soundstage

Strengths: Sound
compactWeaknesses: old
Bottom Line: Finally, an amazing little amp that produce an amazing sound. I was a bit skeptical about the amp since it's old but after reading all the good stuff about this gem, I went ahead and gave it a try. It doesn't hurt since it cost a fraction to my system.
The sound...It's to good to be true. I tried all the integrated amp in it's price range and nothing even come close. It's produce a very natural and open sound in my system. Music is fast , the bass is tight and involving. I guess this is the british sound characteristic.
I am glad that I give this little amp a try. So if you are looking for an affordable true class amp, give this a try. You will not regret it.
Thanks

Strengths: Simple, no frills amp. Reveals alot of detail, clear, powerful(sounds louder and more powerful then most av amps that are rated at 70+wpc), build qualityWeaknesses: honestly cannot fault its sound or design.Bottom Line: Beautiful little amp, headhphone jack is at front on my model.
Build quality is very good and the amp is quite heavy considering its size.
Sound quality is excellent, no added distortion or coloring of the sound. I found bass to be very good on mine, maybe its cus my speakers are close to the wall.
overall, I love the sound produced and I cant fault its design.

Strengths: Astonishing Transparency and Resolution throughout the frequency Range, 3D Imaging, Speed, Power belies it's 2x25W RMS Rating - One of the best Sounding Amps ever made at ANY Price!Weaknesses: Noisy Input/Recording Selectors and Volume Control (Need to be turned several times back and forth to eliminate noise), No MC Phono StageBottom Line: What can i say about this Amp!
I bought mine in 1987 and since then i have yet to hear a more transparent amp at any price.
Clarity, Speed, Resolution and Imaging are all simply amazing and if you are nutpicking you could say that bass is a bit lightweight (although amazingly fast, controlled and tuneful). Dont forget that this amp is rated at just 2x25W RMS!
Overall this is a Classic amp which is still a giant killer after so many years.
