    I was about to buy my Naim CD5i + Nait 5i (italics) when I saw and heard the Cyrus system. Both were equally good. Now I am in a dilemma. Both systems are of same price and both are equally good. Please help me choose.

    My speakers would either be a B&W 704 or a Dali Mentor 6.

     Thanks

    [/quote] I don't think you can go wrong with either really. I would imagine both are excellent choices and i'm sure you will hear different praise from different people. Again, it all comes down to personal taste. Both will give you a different sound. Having recently auditioned the Naim5i (italic)vs Cyrus 8vs2 i preferred the Cyrus sound with all types of music, rather than the Naim, but i know many others will prefer the Naim. Try and audition both for as long as you can and see which one you enjoy the most. Hope this helps.
