Just got an old Exposure XX integrated off Ebay to play around with, isn't the speaker cable requirements something odd with these amps? Someone pls remind me. Any recommendations for some budget speakers to match this budget amp (twas only £200).

IIRC it’s just to avoid high capacitance cables, fairly normal practice really.

Linn speakers seemed to be used quite often when they were reviewing Exposure back in the day. Not sure I'd want to go there though. What about Proac? Or Monitor Audio? Models from the correct time period, not the modern ones.

Monitor Audio R352 (not MD). I used to have these, and loved them. Non fatiguing, real wood veneers, can be found for less than £100.

That's what it is. I believe they could be a bit bright in some systems.
