Buy this amp or not. What is wise?

It is a new Exposure from a English dealer who sell it on Ebay. But Exposure do this to protect the higher prices from Dutch and German dealers i think.

Also or The Exposure for 1500,-- by a german dealer or it would be the Arcam A 39 for 1620,- Euro. (Price given by Hifi Schleuderbacher). The Arcam is the moderner amp. But i must know how it sounds compared with the expusure. For streaming i will buy the Bluesound Node.

Simply based on the difference in input sensitivity, expect the Exposure to be more in your face and go loud much sooner on the volume travel than the Arcam. This will happen with digital sources. The Arcam has a much more usable attenuation and less fake impression of endless power.
I would choose the Exposure with lazy inefficient speakers and the Arcam for more efficient ones.

Vladimir; I have the Kef R500. But with my music, rough rock, i don't like when it is too much in your face. I never listen loud, but always in the evening at normal level. Till now no one has the Arcam A39 here so i cant listen to it.

Is there a difference between a Englisch Exposure 3010S2 and those for the Netherlands/Germany?

We have here 230V.
