Recently they have teamed up with Kudos to offer active loudspeaker configurations so they are continuing to push forward, which is a very good sign. They have built a strong reputation for producing great sounding, no-nonsense components and have a solid and loyal user base without ever gaining the cult status of certain other well-known British brands. One such company is Exposure, who have been proudly creating and building audio equipment in West Sussex since 1974. In recent years many famous brands have been taken over by foreign conglomerates, but some have remained proudly British in both their design and manufacture. Not that you are neglected or (on the other side of the record) that you feel under pressure.For a small island, Great Britain has an extraordinary number of very accomplished manufacturers of excellent audio equipment. Customers become part of the event pointing you in a certain direction or extending a welcome while you wait. In fact their enthusiasm, knowledge and dedication are contagious. Meanwhile, the boss of the shop went out to fetch me a coffee.Įveryone at Soundstage is like that.

An experience beyond expectation can only have been facilitated by a skilled and dedicated craftsman behind the scenes - a turntable Surgeon who sat with me beforehand to discuss the forthcoming operation in tones of reassurance and with practical answers to every question. It doesn’t sound 40 years old now… my ears tell me it was built today: and it shines in every way. Somehow, there is also room for the hardware, including my own vintage Linn Sondek connected to serious components for demonstration after restoration. it doesn’t look out of place: and these are accommodating hosts. And it is accessible being within a short walk of Cockfosters underground station or, in my case, the occasional car journey from home with parking spaces alongside or, better still, permission to rest a bike on their wood laminate floor. It may be modest in size but it caters for the grandest ambition. This re-discovered jewel in Heddon Court Parade is more conspicuous of late with a slightly louder shop front and an enticing display of equipment within. Our products are British from design to finish.
#Exposure x amplifier series
From our ‘twenty’ and ‘XM’ series to our ‘thirty’ and ‘fifty’ series, we hope that you will be as delighted with the price as the sound.Įxposure is proud to be a British company based in the south of England. We think that the best place for all the complex engineering is on the inside, where decades of research and development go into producing that renowned musical performance.Įxposure is available worldwide from a network of specialist shops run by people who know a thing or two about the complex relationship between people, hi-fi and music. Robustly built, they offer friendly features and clear controls. On the outside, our products are simple, clean and elegant. Which is smart thinking, since real music lovers prefer to listen to their music rather than the hi-fi. To put it another way, our design philosophy is to make hi-fi that gets on with the task of authentically reproducing any and every kind of music, while the equipment itself hides in the background. There is delicacy in the upper ranges and openness in the mid-range, underpinned by deep yet agile bass that dances along. Exposure hi-fi is renowned for its ‘rightness’ of sound. Hair-raising and spine-tingling listening experiences. What it will do, is to give you real music. It also won’t require several rocket scientists to set up and maintain. It might take a little stretch, but it won’t break the bank. A system that brings your beloved music collection to life, not one that looks flash at cocktail parties or requires a second mortgage. What do we mean by ‘real’? Remember the days when things were designed by skilled engineers, perfected over time and built to last? When products were expected to concentrate on doing what they did exceptionally well without fail, rather than getting bogged down with the latest gadgets and gizmos? That’s what we mean by real hi-fi.Īs for real music lovers, no need to explain.
