Exposure "New Classics" XXIII 23 Preamplifier and XVIII 28 Dual Mono Power Amplifier

[daws0n]

I have owned these amps from new, they have been well cared for and used lightly (about 3-6 hours per week at most). Although it is recommended to keep them switched on for the best sound (ala naim) I have kept them off between use and just allow time for warming up before listening to maximize component longevity.

Flagship models during the 2010s2/3010s2 era but unlike the rest of the family these are based on classic John Farlowe designs - the 23 pre is a tweaked 21 with remote capability, and the 28 dual mono is based up on the super 18 with true mono layout / dual power supplies. I compared the XXVIII to a dual IV last year, and found very little difference between them sonically - both great amps.

These provide outstanding sound with any speakers I've tried, with typical Exposure timing and musicality. I've tended to stick with dynaudio, no troubles coping with the low sensitivity 4 ohm load.

They rarely come up for a sale but I did see a set sell on eBay sell for £1,420 at auction last August but I would prefer to sell them direct...

Asking £1,150 o.n.o for the pair (RRP was £2,890) and am happy to discuss shipping within UK. Auditions welcome (South Wales area)
