You'd suspect right Paul - and many folk will know what a huge Exposure fan I am. It's also bringing into sharp perspective what a stunning amp the 770ES is. The Exposure does its stuff presently and correctly - lots of bounce/life and sheer 'joy' in its presentation. The Sony matches it punch for punch, and then some.Quote:

Best of both I'll wager.

Through the line inputs the Exposure has it by a nose, but use the Sony's direct input (there's only one) and it wins back slightly.
It's because of the above that I'm letting the Sony go (yes a buyer is ready and waiting). It's likely the Dino2 will go too as the Expo's stage is so good it's really rather surplus to requirements now and I have no need for MM.
