I've had 2 Farlowe era Exposure amps in the past and can confirm they sound way better with at least 2m of Exposure's own cable (which is essentially rebadged Talk 3). The reasons given in the above posts are all correct. If you can't get suitable cable, at least stay away from anything plaited or woven together.
You'll find that the amps give quite a boom through the speakers when turned on, this is completely normal and won't harm your speakers. Contact Tony brady at Exposure about servicing needs and for general advice, he's very approachable.
Enjoy the amp!
