Quicksilver V4 vs Manley Snappers

A little more about the V-4's, it is easy and quick to check and adjust the tube bias if needed. This is a big deal as it lets you spend more time listening plus the added benefit of easily trying different bias settings permitting you to taylor the sound some. Did I mention they're bullet proof, run trouble free, a joy to own... etc...etc......

FYI-- You can order the Snappers with a Triode/Ultralinear switch option. I order this on all my demo Snappers.

That was actually what I was trying to convey, but didn't do a very good job of it. I definitely prefer the lushness and liquidity of the Manley Snappers (and Stingray) in triode mode to UL. Just like the choice between the Snappers and V4, I realize this all comes down to personal taste and opinion.

Thanks for all the responses so far. There are no dealers (of any sort) where I live so this process is being done blind. I was on the fence, knowing I probably can't go wrong either way, and that is the sense I get from people here. My mind is telling me V4, my heart is telling me....screw it Neo Classic 250's....if only I had the wallet to match my heart :)

Gwng8, the V4 versus Snapper decision is a difficult one for me, as it comes down to a chocolate or vanilla kind of thing. Which one is best depends on personal taste.

However, bringing up the Neo Classic 250s shifts the argument into a different direction. It's more this chocolate or that one. If you're really leaning toward a richer, lusher presentation of that Manley product, the Quicksilver V4s fit the bill. The Snappers are a more raucous, emphatic kind of sound that should satisfy someone looking for something more along the lines of a traditional rock and roll amp.
