Cyrus One Linear Speakers is a premium loudspeaker system which, whilst designed to perfectly augment the Cyrus One amplifier, provides exemplary performance with a whole host of audio systems.

Engineering
The One linear is engineered with a classically ‘British’ linear frequency response curve. The objective is complete neutrality, allowing the full character of the music and the subtle details of the performance to be revealed.

Long Listening
A loudspeaker can only be truly perfected if the amplifier system that is driving it is known. In this case, the One linear has been optimised for use with our own hybrid Class D amplifier topologies. The One linear is designed to be as relaxing and enjoyable after many hours of listening as it is attention-grabbing and impressive in the first 10 minutes.

Bass/Mid driver
The One linear bass/mid driver uses a double-wound copper-coated aluminum voice-coil. As well as being light, this produces a stronger induced magnetic field which gives greater grip over hard to control bass frequencies. The voice coil is bonded to a carefully profiled Kevlar cone material.

This material is light and responsive, carrying limited inertia and retaining its shape and hence audio characteristic even when pushed hard. The speed and accuracy of the resulting bass response is remarkable for a speaker of this size.

Tweeter
The ‘tweeter’ or treble unit is a textile soft-dome, capable of meaningful response well beyond the limits of human hearing. Refined and balanced, the high-frequencies are never ‘aggressive’ or harsh, yet retain the full detail of the source recording.

Crossover
The crossover uses high-quality electrolytic capacitors to maintain the signal integrity and a smooth phase response through the transition from bass driver to tweeter. This again contributes to the even response.

Cabinet
The cabinet has been developed using advanced computer modeling with ‘Delayed Cumulative Spectral Analysis’ to reduce the contribution of cabinet noise to levels more than 35dB below the driver output. This is also used to fine-tune the crossover to ensure a consistent performance, even when listening ‘off-axis’.

The One linear is rear-ported and designed to be positioned between 10-30cm from a rear wall. This will optimise the bass response and mid-range clarity, although some experimentation with position is advised as this will be room-dependent.

    I had these and for the original price they were good and very easy to sell when the time was right for me to upgrade. At this price they're a steal TBH. Look good too. They need decent stands.

    Or a ummm bookshelf perhaps!

    I had a Mission Cyrus One amp from the mid late 80s. It was built like a tank. I gave it to a friend who destroyed it by keeping it in a garden shed. I got it back from him about 10 years later and everything was corroded inside. Anyway that amp was excellent in sound and design wish I wasn't crazy and gave it away. These speakers are bound to be very good they just have to be.

    Beautiful looking speakers from such a renowned hifi company for not a lot of money.
    Music to my ears.

    About the right price for these. Decent speakers for this money

    Why do people feel the need to stick "Mission" in front of all Cyrus gear? Cyrus speakers have totally different drivers to Mission ones. Think I will pop onto fleabay and look for a Fiat Ferrari for the summer.

    Would these work well with the Wiim Amp for a TV setup? Or any other amp for the TV - Or would powered speakers like the Elac Debut Connex be better suited?

    I got them for 2 weeks now and I'm not impressed with the sound at all, wharfedale 9.1 sound much better.
