Mike Evans owns so many Exposure amplifiers from the 1980s and early 1990s that David Price, his co-host on their YouTube show, likens his listening room to a hifi megastore. Evans compares Exposure and Naim in those years to Oasis and Blur. He loved the Naim amps too, and he bought the Exposures because they were very easy to listen to over long periods. The design behind that sound has changed little. Exposure builds its amplifiers from individual transistors, matched in pairs so each one handles half of the musical waveform, and keeps both working gently through the handoff so it stays smooth. Price finds that the current 3510 keeps the family voice, with a gutsy sound and "a big, strong bouncy bass." Exposure suits listeners who want a full, sweet sound they can play for hours.

The 2510 integrated is the place to start. Its preamp section keeps the signal path as short as possible, Taran of A British Audiophile says, and he gave it his top rating. The 3510 integrated is the step up, with more power and a slot inside for a DAC or a phono board. Ken Kessler of Hi-Fi News found it controlled speakers "like a Sgt Major" and drove Wilson's Sasha DAW with ease. Match the speakers with care. Taran suggests models on the warm side of neutral for the 3510, while Price found that Neat's Majistra standmounts brought out its treble detail. Check your cables before you buy, because the speaker sockets take only 4mm banana plugs. The full-width amplifiers share one chassis, so pieces from different series can be mixed as you grow, and the 5010 monoblocks are there when you want more power. Michael Jude Galvin of SECRETS ran a subwoofer from one of the 3510's two preamp outputs.

John Farlowe founded Exposure in 1974. Hi-Fi News says he set out to put audiophile circuit design into basic but sturdy matt-black cases. Taran recalls Farlowe telling him that before then he had built guitar amplifiers for Pink Floyd. The first products were the I and II loudspeakers, and the III preamp and IV power amp, reviewed by Hi-Fi News in 1978, went head to head with the black boxes of Naim, from Salisbury. The X integrated amplifier became popular, and Art Dudley of Stereophile still counts a Linn LP12 turntable and Linn Kan speakers with a then-new X as one of the most musical systems he has ever heard at a hifi show. Tony Brady has designed the products since 2000 and kept the original formula, and Evans hears many nuances of the early amplifiers in the 3510. Price ran several blind listening group tests before he settled on the 3010S2 as his benchmark integrated, and Galvin calls its successor, the 3510, "the most musically complete, balanced integrated amplifier I have heard in years."
