For Sale: FS: Exposure IV Dual Regulated Power Amplifier (The Original)

It has already been posted on Audiogon.  Of course, I'd prefer to sell it to a fellow Headfier, and I think that I'd be willing to negotiate price a bit more generously.  It is posted on Audiogon for $800.00 plus shipping.  I believe that once it has been meticulously packed and double-boxed (I haven't got the original packaging), it should weigh about 40 pounds.  I would be willing to split the shipping costs with the buyer: the unit will be sent with delivery confirmation and full insurance. I would anticipate that the buyer would reside in the US or Canada, but it retains the original, authentic 220V British power cord, so I would be willing to discuss international shipping.

Here's the info currently on Audiogon http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?ampstran&1296951815&/Exposure-IV-Dual-Regulated-%28Or.  I'll try to put some direct photos up soon, but PM me for information.  I can email high resolution photos.

This is the original version of the IV Dual regulated, with its rounded case and single-ended RCA inputs. It's in very fine cosmetic shape, as the photos evidence. Mechanically, it's superb. I purchased it from its first owner, and Englishman, in 2002. It has been a constant in my system.  It is an exquisite amp, and a genuine icon of British audio design. NOTE: it is **220V** I bought it when I resided in Dublin, and I 've used it with a big voltage converter since my return. Hi-def photos available on request. Here are the original Exposure specs: EXPOSURE'S flagship power amplifier provides total dual mono operation, which in our opinion is the ultimate goal. It utilises 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."
