Can Naim SBL Speakers work with NON Naim equipment
They should work with any amplification. Whether you like the results or not is another question.I used them with Exposure amps and an Exposure electronic x-over designed specifically for the SBL's. I thought the combo worked well in the right roo... 
Exposure XI and IX preamp/power supply
i have a hard copy of the exposure manual, and a pdf of the page describing the pre/ps connection. i just need to know how to get either to you.

terms like soul or musicality are so vague that they mean almost nothing to me. all i know is i'd rather listen to music via my SME than other turntables i've owned: LP12 for 21 years, rega p3/24 in a second system for 3 years.

Exposure Super XV 15
fyi, i think the XV cost around $1500 new. they are still sought after in the used market, in case you don't like it.i've have a bunch of different exposure amps, including the XV (not the super version), and prefer them to anything i've hear at t... 
Dynavector coil repair
when i went to replace my xv-1s, my dealer said i could have it rebuilt or retipped (i can't remember which), but i believe the rebuild would've been done by someone other than dynavector.
