Cyrus Amplifier upgrade deal

[Gusboll]

Remarkable looking offer on their website - trade in your old amp and get a new XP for nearly half price. Any Cyrus owners thinking of going for it? Not heard them yet but looks tempting.

are you going to trade in your 8vs2?

Wouldn't mind doing an audition to see if it's worth it.

i picked up a cyrus 7 off ebay this week - now if i can find 900 quid i could be tempted although only for spare room and have to say i'm really enjoying it - my first cyrus purchase and i'm liking the sound

 

[Gusboll]

Now there's an idea......!

 

[matengawhat]

i think cyrus kit on ebay will rocket as ppl will just be buying to get the new amp for half price!!!!

 

[Gusboll]

Wonder if they will consider taking multiple old amps for a better exchange rate??!!

Sounds more like desperation to me, 5th anniversary or not. I'd like to be wrong on that one.

Do you need to supply the original proof of purchase? There's scope to ebay purchase an old amp and upgrade here...

 

[matengawhat]

can't see them doing that is in their interest to sell them and sure they won't be making a loss

gets them out in the market place and ppl talking about them

also its still wuite a big investment for ppl to make with the economy as it is

although audiophiles are a special breed so will prob go without food for them!

With such big drops alarm bells should be ringing. Would you discount a brand new product by that much, even at your fifth anniversary?

A special package deal, some free accessories perhaps but knocking that much off surely wont help residual values nor the brands perception. I take a guess here, no more than that and say they realised they had priced the product to high in the first place.

As always, my opinion only.
