Three years ago, the idea of a solid-state integrated amplifier that sold for only $1250 yet combined some of the best performance aspects of a <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/660">Naim Nait</A> and a <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/992dynaco">Dynaco Stereo 70</A> seemed likely to resonate with consumers and critics alike. And it did: Introduced in early 2005, the British-built <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/1105exposure">Exposure 2010S</A> was an unequivocal hit on both sides of the Atlantic, and remains in Class A of <I>Stereophile</I>'s "Recommended Components." Deservedly.

The subject comes up every now and then: Audio reviewers don't write nearly enough negative reviews. One old attention-seeker on Audio Asylum went so far as to characterize <I>Stereophile</I> and our would-be competitors as "happy face" magazines&mdash;a joke in which he seemed to take tremendous pride&mdash;simply because we hand out a lot of As and Bs. By that logic, assuming that a certain percentage of underachievers is inevitable in any population, our schools aren't handing out nearly enough Fs. (I have a suggestion for where they can begin.)
