Moon 5.3 vs Cyrus 8SE What would you do

[Mike_Schmidt]

To make it short and sweet the 8SE here in Canada is about 2500, or I could get a Moon 5.3 new for about 3300 where would your money go. Keeping in mind I have a cyrus Pre Xvs with psx audio refinement multi power amp Proac d28's with cardas cables. The audio refinement power amp killed my two cyrus smart powers, thats the reason for the mix up

Have you read our Cyrus CD8SE review yet?

 

[Mike_Schmidt]

yes I did but at this price level is the cyrus out matched against the moon maybe it isnt. The problem is I cant hear one, I can only order one. I do have a 8x with psx right now, but find it a little heavy on the top end.

Thanks Clare, how much better do you think the moon is over the 8SE or is it!
