    Cyrus 8 2 DAC with power amp or Cyrus pre dac with one power amp?

    Ah, sorry. Not too good at this and thought as was a different question would be different post ideally. You know I was talking about Cyrus...but point taken. :D Any opinion on original question?

    Cyrus 8 2 DAC with power amp or Cyrus pre dac with one power amp?

    HiHi[/list]Hi I know it's ultimately subjective but which option above would offer most value? An 8 2 DAC with power amp, say an 8 Power or Smart or Q or Pre DAC with X Power? Bi amping vs separate quality components? Price wise there's little difference for me at the minute. Would appreciate...

    Cyrus 8 DAC QX or 8 2 DAC

    Hi I know there is technically a difference between the two. One has the upgraded DAC and the other is newer with possibly upgraded components and/or processes. My question is pretty straightforward. Which would be the best to plump for? Will I notice any real difference between the two? I...

    Good cheapish Amp to go with ATC SCM 11?

    I should say that I'm not looking for THE system but a system to play with. I'm surprised the 11s aren't universally lauded like seems to be the case most places but how boring would it be were everyone to like the same thing. I sincerely hope there is no fault with the speakers but if there...

    Good cheapish Amp to go with ATC SCM 11?

    I'm getting a vague, misty sense that you're not a massive fan? It's more to experiment as the PMC were amazing just a tad light in the bass.

    Good cheapish Amp to go with ATC SCM 11?

    good idea, I have a Yamaha RX A830 which I'm eager to test them on, then compare to a decent amp.

    Good cheapish Amp to go with ATC SCM 11?

    this is what I suspect but haven't received them yet to test. I have a Cyrus that should answer the question and at least they're in warranty. Coldplay?! You take that back. I respect my equipment! :D

    Good cheapish Amp to go with ATC SCM 11?

    Hi I am inheriting a pair of these speakers (newer model) and am basically searching out an amp that will drive them well. I am not looking to match them perfectly, that will come with time. I am more looking to get them going so to speak. If I can match them, then perfect but it is not my...

    Connecting stereo and AV amp to my Subwoofer at the same time?

    Update Using one RCA from the Pre Amps pre out (both connected at pre amp end) definitely loses some of the bass, makes sense really. Not happy with this and so it seems I need to: 1. Incorporate the AV Amp into the Cyrus, as mentioned above.....but how I'm not exactly sure. 2. Purchase a...

    Connecting stereo and AV amp to my Subwoofer at the same time?

    Kind of what I thought but glad someone else said so. Until I come across the definitive answer, I'm going to do as you recommend. For the stereo it's only to add a bit of bass to certain music anyhow. D&B for example. The Cyrus deals with my music wonderfully in the main but sometimes I want it...

    Connecting stereo and AV amp to my Subwoofer at the same time?

    I'm not sure. I'm uncertain as to how it would work connecting one rca, the LFE from the AV amp.
