Hi - I need to shortlist a few amps to replace my Arcam Alpha 8. The Amp will be used with B&W CM5 speakers and a Cyrus CD8SE player. I mostly listen to rock music so I appreciate melodic guitar sounds and punchy drums. I like to be able to hear the 'layers' of the guitar sounds and fine detail in the percussion. Just a few ideas to get me started please. Thanks!

Amp for Cyrus Cd and B&W speakers

Thanks, 8a on my list then. That's the sort of money I was thinking of spending although I notice several comments about Cyrus pre/power amps being so much better. Question is, could I justify something like a pre xpd and X power with CM5 speakers, or would this not justify the additional outlay. Not meaning to move away from the original question, but interested!

The obvious choice would be a Cyrus amp of some description, however, given your taste in music I'd be looking at Exposure 3010S, Roksan Caspian or Naim XS, or even Leema Pulse, perhaps.
Cheers, now to find a dealer with Roksan, Naim, Cyrus and B&W. would love to do a side by side comparison!
