That annual discount fest known as Black Friday has come around once again! To celebrate, we’ve put together an amazing array of bargains and deals here in the Cheltenham store — perfect for tempting you as the nights draw in, the days get colder, and you find yourself spending more time indoors listening to music to get you through to spring.

Here’s a little taster of just a few of the juiciest deals we’ve got in store. Starting with…

Andy’s Choice — Cyrus Pre-XR DAC

Was £4,595 - Now £2,499 - Save £2,096!

Cyrus has nearly four decades of experience crafting award-winning products, designed and assembled entirely in-house in the UK. From the beginning, Cyrus’s mission has been to combine cutting-edge technology with superb engineering to create truly emotional musical experiences.

The Pre-XR’s power supply design has received particular attention. An over-specified 74VA transformer delivers power to a high-capacity reserve, while fifteen independent regulators ensure clean, stable power delivery throughout the circuitry. Even the digital control circuits are powered separately to isolate them completely from the signal path.

The analogue preamp section features relay input selection and a high-performance gain stage — keeping the signal path short for maximum transparency. With four analogue inputs and a moving magnet phono stage, the Pre-XR covers just about any analogue connectivity need.

Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs give system flexibility, particularly when pairing with high-end power amplifiers.

There’s also a port for the PSU-XR power supply — an evolution of Cyrus’s legendary PSX-R design. This upgrade provides five independently regulated supplies in a single chassis. When connected to the Pre-XR, it takes over power duties for the analogue stages, dramatically enhancing performance.

On the digital side, the Pre-XR features the second-generation QXR DAC with a top-quality, high-speed analogue buffer stage. There are seven user-adjustable digital filter settings to suit your taste, plus USB (up to 384kHz and DSD512), two SPDIF, and two optical inputs.

The XR series also looks the part, finished in Phantom Black — a colour that sits beautifully alongside both Core and Signature models. The interface includes capacitive touch buttons with tactile feedback, a high-resolution LCD screen, and a solid metal rotary encoder that feels as good as it looks.

This ex-demo Pre-XR DAC is in perfect condition, boxed with all accessories and full warranty.

Farid’s Choice — Monitor Audio Radius 270

Was £825 - Now £599 - Save 226!

A tall (ish), slim and elegant floorstanding loudspeaker, the Radius 270 might look sleek, but don’t be fooled by its size — these speakers are easy to drive and deliver a surprising amount of deep bass, paired with a smooth and refined top end. They sound far bigger than they look.

In fact, they’re so good that I recently sold a pair to my mum!

This ex-display pair in gorgeous walnut finish are normally £825, but now just £599 — a whopping £226 saving.
We also have a matching centre and compact Radius bookshelf speakers available if you’d like to build a surround set.

Jon’s Choice — JBL MA710

The JBL MA710 is a rather groovy 7.2-channel AV receiver — it looks great and sounds even better. It’s easy to set up and a pleasure to use (which, let’s face it, isn’t always the case these days!).

Finished in shiny black, it features six HDMI inputs — three supporting 8K/60Hz and three for 4K/120Hz — plus an eARC output for top-quality audio and visuals from your TV, Blu-ray player, or game console. The built-in 192kHz/24-bit DAC supports all standard digital formats and performs beautifully with music as well as movies.

As with all models in the MA series, it includes Pure Direct mode for a clean signal path, delivering excellent sound quality with 110W per channel into 8 ohms.

This ex-demo model is in A1 mint condition, boxed with all accessories, and comes with the full two-year warranty.

So there you have it — the team in Cheltenham’s top picks, straight from the people who know the kit best. That’s just the tip of the iceberg: we’ve got bargains across speakers, headphones, streaming devices, TVs, amplifiers, AV receivers, and more.
