System Matching - Problem Of My Own

[admin_exported]

Hi WhatHifi Forum Users -

I have just purchased a Cyrus Pre VS2 for use with my HDD Music System - Lossless Audio Files. I have the GS Surround package and was going to use my GS 10s (Rears) as the speakers used for my HDD Music System. Firstly - is this a bad system match as the Cyrus can lean towards a high treble as well as the GS10 speakers.I would prefer to get a Cyrus power amplifier as I want to keep things looking in sync with one another. 8 Power or X Power I think....

Is this not a wise choice - can cables rectify my eventual 'high treble harshness' problem without the need to change the gear?

Excellent system matching article in this months magazine has raised my own questions

Thx

Any Cyrus users on today?....

An 8 or an X would do the job - always get the best you can!

You could try Van Den Hul as their cles tend to be smoother than others - usually a little too smooth, but in these instances are ideal. Or look around for old Cable Talk Concert 2 - extremely smooth and warm.

Toeing the MA's in can help smooth them off a little if they're near the side walls.

Thx Frank - I shall try the combination with those cable options and see my results. I normally use Chord cables, but dont think they would suit the Cyrus combination. What about the Cyrus cables? I know What Hifi recommend these cables - but what are the overall characteristics of these cables and has anyone used these in their system?
