Manley snapper vs Atma-sphere M60

Both are quality amplifiers made by reputable companies.  You really need to see if you can get an audition because it will come down to your personal preference.  Nice problem to have.....

You will never get better service than from Ralph Karsten at Atma-sphere, whether you purchase a used pair or buy them new. 

Thanks so far.  I'm really not sure the snappers will outperform the atmaspheres.....overall.

s1nn3r, I have not heard any of your equipment choices, but it is really beautiful looking gear in your listening room.

gwng8, I own Snappers and previously had a different model from AtmaSphere.  I agree that Ralph is one of the best for product support, but I found Manley to be very good as well when I had a problem -- friendly, competent service.

Regarding sonics, I had different speakers and it was years ago for the AtmaSpheres, so not relevant to compare.  Other than the different presentation from an OTL design, another consideration is the Snappers have a fixed output around 5 ohms while AtmaSphere amps typically perform best into loads higher than 8 ohms.  What is the rating for the Kensingtons?

Oh yes, EveAnna Manley often utilizes Tannoys for demos with her electronics and at one time (not sure about current) she matched the Snappers with Tannoys in her personal system.  And she loves R&R!
