This action is for the superb Cyrus AV8 Surround Sound Processor finished in silver.
This item is around 2 years old, and in excellent condition. No dints, no marks , no scratches. You could not get a better example of this processor.
Included in this auction is the original box, manual, remote control, power cable, MC-BUS lead and microphone. The microphone is used to autosetup.
The AV8 is one of the most capable products product by Cyrus: it's sonically excellent and equally at home as a surround sound processor or digital pre-amp. I've used it as both. It has 4 co-ax digital inputs, 2 optical (toslink) digital inputs and 3 analogue inputs.
Collection welcome (even preferred) from my home in Derbyshire. Postage at cost. I travel from Derbyshire to Chertsey in Surrey on a regular basis so may be able to deliver or meet up if you are on the way - if you are reliant on this then best check with me before bidding, thanks.
About PayPal. I am happy to accept paypal payments and absorb those costs. If you are PayPal verified then I will ship the item very quickly. If you aren't verified then I will wait for clearance, which takes about a week apparently. Cash
Add me to your favourite sellers, because I will be selling a couple of smartpower (now called 8 power), linkpower (now called 6 power) amplifiers in the near future.
