As mentioned in an earlier post, I am about to purchase a Cyrus 8Vs2 Amp and Cyrus CD8SE connected to a pair of Spendor A5 speakers.............
However never satisfied.....I was just wondering about future upgrade paths...........probably via the inclusion of psxr power supplies and maybe a power amp.......Although I was wondering whether I would receive any instant gains by opting for a Cyrus Pre Vs2 / 8 Power combo.
What would the immediate gains likely to be over opting for a pre/power combo rather an integrated 8Vs2. I seriously considered the new 8XPD integrated but just dont think I would reap the benefit for the monetary differance...which would now stand at £900.00 is the XPD really that good????
By my calculations I could get the Integrated amp set up for approximately £2,500 excluding connects and speaker cable.
The Pre / Power option with Spendor A5's and Atlas Cables would come in at £3,189.00
Is the extra £700 worth the pre / power combo???
