Exposure 2010S Integrated. Any experiences??

I have been listening to an Exposure 2010s for 2 days and I am stunned by how musical and involving it is. I am not sure there is enough power there but it is pretty gutsy. A few months ago I had a Creek 5350, (really good but a little dry) Cambridge 840a v1 ( very detailed but 2D stage) and MF A300 ( beautiful but somewhat aggressive) I swear the Exposure sounds better then any of those in this system. Sony XA7777ES, Cardas Neutral Reference IC and AP Oval 9 speaker wire. Speakers are (do not laugh) old Polk RTA Monitor 12s ( the tweeter and crossover on top) from 1984 I love bringing them into showrooms against other speakers way more expensive then these were new ($1000) and making nmoney off sales people who are surprised by how good they sound. Anyway I am off path. Has anyone done any comparisons with with Exposure or had any experience with it?? Thanks,keith

Geph007,

congratulations.You have dissected through the heart of the amp.

I helped built a low budget system for a friend , and the heart And soul of the system is the Exposure amp.

Nothing better at at least 2x the price;it smoked literally all the usual competitors

The Exposure is one of the finest amps I have owned. Very involving listen. The only area I think other amps better it (such as the LFD Mistral) is in the top end, it's just not as sweet as the mids. The mids do most all for the Exposure's special sound. Bass is rythmic and tuneful as well.

Thanks for your responses. This unit is a consignment piece I can pick up for about $750. I also have a Creek Destiny coming (demo piece for around $1600) and hope to compare them. I also have my vincent 236MKII here. No I am not wealthy , but it is the only way to get stuff together and find out. CHARGE!!!! and then get rid of the extras. Any thoughts on the Exposure v Creek Destiny or the Vincent?? I was very impressed with the Creek 5350 but a slightly dry, flat sound with a small soundstage bugged me.Keith

Keith, Good for you for actually trying different amps in your rig. While I don't have direct experience with the amps mentioned, I think Exposure's design philosophy of solid power supplies and regulation contributes a lot to the comments made here. You found synergy with the Exposure and you might stop there if you're happy. You may want to live with it for a few weeks to get a good handle on the sound--if possible. Good luck in your quest.
