Part of what makes up the sound is of course the preamp section of the Exposure, so worst case you buy a new amp and use the Exposure as pre to find that the sound is still somewhat clinical sounding.
I was on a search of my own for much the same reason, and found a great sounding amp in the Parasound A21. They also have a new pre that seems to be very popular, the P5. I'd suggest giving a dealer a visit with some of your favourite music and take your time. The A23 would be right up your alley.
