Best Speakers for Cyrus: DACXp+, CDSE XT, Mono 2000

[BronC]

No - they are powered from the speaker cable. You just need long runs.

Urm :? ..Do all these mid-high ranged floorstands/bookshelf speakers require power supply from the wall ? I just realized that as I was planning to put the speakers on opposite side of the room form the Cyrus Dac XP!!!!

As far as I know all the recommended speakers so far are passive and only require speaker cable from your power amp..

As an alternative to the Zodiac Gold 384 kHz DAC i would also suggest pairing the Cyrus X Power and Mono X 300's with Resonessence Labs Invicta DAC/Pre Amp.

Btw, I just want to be clear that i don't benefit at all by recommending Antelope Audio and Resonessence Labs as i don't deal with these makes.

All the best

Rick, may I ask if you have heard both of the products you are advising? If so, can you describe their sound?

Thanks I'm sort of re-arranging the room to esp shocase my collection of Cds (esp my rare Fax, Rather Interesting, Chain Reaction labels) and my Cyrus set up but need the speakers away creating a feeling of space in a mid sized room. Am seriously looking into following below speakers as I think they will go well with the DAC XP+ and CDXT SE. Looking for good sound with bass/treble handling and enough watts to handle two Mono X 200. If possible speakers that look good and aren't to big!

B&W Cm8's or hopefully Cm9's(I have to wait longer and get used/ex-demo but have been impressed with the demo I experienced)

Tannoy Revolution DC6T SE (great price for what seems quality speakers and look good too)

Pro Studio 140 Mk2 (though I a but worried about the space and size needed)

I think if you're going for floorstanders with multiple speakers they will all sound boomy in a small room.. What size is your room.. If it is mid sized i can't see it being an issue with any of those as long as you don't box them in a corner or against a wall... Maybe the ProAc's look a bit bulky though asthetically...

Here's some CM9's ex-display for £1300 http://www.canterburyhifi.co.uk/speakers.shtml (you have to scroll down quite a way down the page)

Some Splendor A5 ex-display for £1200 http://www.hifix.co.uk/floor-standing-speakers/spendor/a5.html

As others have said may be worth looking out for some Dynaudio x36.. Not sure about the Tannoy's maybe someone with experience with them could help..

Room size is 12ft (W) by 14ft (L) - Looking for speakers that will benift with the Dac XP+, CDXT SE , Mono X 200 ! My plans are on the B&W CM8's or 9's(ex-demo's), but not sure they will bring the best out of the DACXP+ or go well with Cyrus - there seems to confusing knowledge about pairing up with speakers to systems (over my head!). I did hear the CM9's was and impressed, but I think I judged it without testing it on music I listen too! and the set-up was in decent sized Large(it must have been 15 by 12, not 10 by 9, as I first wrote) room with enough space for the speakers playing typical display sound music.

Need to hear subtle bass and deep rhythms from music I like below
