Cyrus Stereo 200

Roger Kanno writes:  British manufacturer Cyrus Audio has been around since the 1980s, when they were affiliated with Mission Electronics and introduced the Cyrus 1 integrated amplifier. In the mid-1990s, I owned a Cyrus III integrated amplifier with optional PSX-R power supply, driving Mission 762 and 760i loudspeakers, and still have fond memories of that system.

The Stereo 200 slots into the company’s power-amp hierarchy between the entry-level X Power and the flagship Mono X zero-feedback monoblock.
