Thought I’d share these rarities with you.
The first exposure amps , I bet some of you have seen or heard them before, there’s barely anything on the net about them.
The preamp is totally original but the power amp has had its boards replaced.

Those were the days...proper looking equipment. You had to wear a white coat to operate it.

I am guessing it stands up pretty well for sound quality against anything more recent?

As I have mentioned before I've had a few Farlowe era integrated amps.

Once, I heard the flagship XVI Mono. I recall tremendous amount of power and control. Only caveat, I found them a bit forward for my taste.

Have fun!

It sounds as good if not better than the Pathos I recently sold , the low volume grunt is just lovely.

I found the dual mono 4 a bit forward too with the 21 pre, then I was advised to use the dual mono 8 pre and 2x power supplies and then everything changed.

I do like that industrial/technical look - as Macca said you will need a white coat :)
