Exposure vs Classe


Can anyone comment on similarities/differences between the Classe Cap-80 and the Exposure 2010s?

I know one is much older, and there is probably a notable difference in price. Coming from an Audiolab 8000s in which I like the detail and control, but I would like more soundstage and more "life".

Thanks!

Exposure is known for a very immediate and involving midrange liquidity and that is completely musical and involving with great transparency and insight to the music as whole, not unlike Naim but not the same either. The Classe is more typical hi fi, rich with a sweet rolled off top end. The Exposure 2010S is one of the most musical amps out there that I have heard. I didn't think it was like any Audiolab gear I have heard as I hear the Audiolab as dry, the Exposure as liquid.
