Some pics of my stuff before we moved ....

CD1 - Expo XVII/XVIII? Nice - very similar to what I owned up until last year (CD1, IX/XI/IVDR).

You know your Exposure/Naim equipment Gromit,

A couple of things have changed since. I now have another XVIII which I bi-amp using the RCA/Phono connections for the first amp and tweeters and the XLR connections for the second amp and the midrange/bass.

Other differences to note are that the DSP-E800 in the picture is now for sale as I have seperated the two systems now, I have upgraded the DVD player to a Denon DVD-2910, bought a Squeezebox and a Rega Ear for headphone duties.

Paul,

I have lots of very happy memories of my Exposure days (I started with a X in 1992, then Super XV, then DualIV/DualVI/VII to what I said in the above post). I still bitterly regret selling all of mine but it's always good to see folk not making the same mistake

How do you find the bi-amping? What sort of improvement/change have you experienced? I'm considering the possibility of either bi-amping my NVA A60 or going for the pair of A80 mono's. Can't really decide tbh.

Here's an old pic taken a couple of years ago (Dual IV as opposed to the IVDR I got shortly after)...



Huge 'air guitar' factor

Gromit,

I have seen that pic of your system before on one of the other forums...

Bi amping was a very good thing to do.

I now have improved vocals, much much tighter and deeper bass and overall a cleaner and less hassled sound. I think it was a major improvement to an extent due to the Epos 14's I have as they really do need driving to make them sing.

So why did you sell the Exposure's and do you still have the CDI ?

Paul - it was the 'I fancy a change' thing.

I'd had Exposure amps for 15 years so felt (although I loved the amps) that there must be something else out there worth trying. I sold the CD1 early last year to someone in Germany - packed it up carefully (it was in nigh-on mint condition with all the original bits & pieces) but it arrived at its new owner in a very sorry state. I now have a Cambridge 840C which I have to admit is a bloody good CD player, no excuses needed.

I don't need a lot of power (small room) so may well end up bi-amping - sounds promising from what you say.
