Hi all,
My eyes & ears have been wandering again which can only mean one thing....time to upgrade! I'm currently running a HCPC, outputting analogue to a couple of Cyrus power amps (SmartPower fronts & QPower rears - no centre yet). I'm tempted to take the processing away from the PC & go for one of the new Cyrus AV8 units. Anyone have experience of the AV5/8 with Cyrus power amps & can share their experiences?
The other option would be to trade the power amps in against something like a Denon AV11, but I'd imagine the sound would be better with the Cyrus pre/power combo. Any theories on narrowing down the audition list would be great. I'm using Sonus Faber Concerto speakers at the front, with the SF Walls at the rear.
Cheers,
Mark.
