I am the original owner of what is considered to be one the finest sounding British pre/power amplifiers made (the MC phono stage is stunning). These are the especially sort after late Farlowe-era models with the upgraded aluminum face plates. The combination of matching IVs with the XIV/IX represent the pinnacle Exposure sound quality. These are 120V models. If you are not familiar with the models please Google them.

I will also sell separately:

XIV + IX DR with power and interconnect cables $1850

IV DR $1200 each

2 X EXPOSURE IV FOUR DUAL REGULATED POWER AMPLIFIER
The IV DR is two mono power amplifiers in a single chassis. I have a matched pair which I used so that the woofer and tweeter/mid on each speaker was driven by a dedicated amplifier.  The internal signal path from the input XLRs to the circuit boards was upgraded at the factory to the highest quality reference CableTalk interconnect (same as pre to power amp cable).
EXPOSURE'S flagship power amplifier provides total dual mono operation, which in our opinion is the ultimate goal. It utilizes two totally separate 300VA custom made transformers, one for each channel. It is also a fully regulated design. In addition to the individual left and right circuit boards there are a further two regulator boards ensure consistent performance of the amplifier irrespective of mains voltage fluctuations. The FOUR DUAL REGULATED has a nominal output of 80 watts into 8 ohms, and a massive transient performance of some 600VA. It can be used as part of a top-level 'Active' system for which EXPOSURE produce an 'Active' filter system (the EXPOSURE Five). Listening to an EXPOSURE 'Active' system, Chris Frankland of Hi-Fi Review said "The EXPOSURE 'Active' system more than lived up to my expectations..... No passive system at any price could match the performance that this system has just given." The EXPOSURE FOUR DUAL REGULATED, used in conjunction with the FOURTEEN and NINE, represents the very pinnacle of high fidelity amplification for musical reproduction.

EXPOSURE XIV FOURTEEN PRE-AMPLIFIER
The FOURTEEN is EXPOSURE'S top line pre-amplifier, marrying meticulous design criteria to stunning sound quality. Offering the same Dual Mono construction as can be found in the Eleven it has in addition separate on board regulated supplies for each of the phono inputs (MC and MM) as well as the two output sections. Each phono input has it's own dedicated RIAA stage, whilst the two tape outputs are completely independent of each other thus allowing full tape dubbing in either direction without loss of quality. The FOURTEEN must be used with an EXPOSURE Nine professional power supply as it requires all four of the independent power supplies offered by this model for full operation. Alternatively two Twelve type power supplies may be used, however this will impair the overall performance when compared to that of the Nine.

EXPOSURE IX NINE DUAL REGULATED PROFESSIONAL POWER SUPPLY
For those who demand the very best, EXPOSURE offers the NINE Professional Monitor Supply. This superb unit provides four separately regulated independent +/-24V DC supplies, supporting fully independent stereo operation of the Seven or Eleven pre-amplifiers. The astonishing performance of the NINE stems from the two custom designed and built 325VA mains transformers, one per channel, each of which in turn supports two discrete regulated power supplies. Protected from short circuit and thermal overload, the NINE Professional Monitor Supply represents the achievement of audio excellence, and is the finest power supply EXPOSURE has produced to date.

CABLES
Top of the line CableTalk reference XLR 'Y" cables to connect the XIV preamp to the two IV power amps.
CableTalk reference interconnect with RCA connectors.
4 Exposure power cables to connect the XIV to phono and line stage left and right power outputs of the IX.
