No experience whatsoever with Manger speakers. However, very happy using Coda CSiB Integrated amp to drive a pair of Thiel CS 2.4 speakers which are notoriously hard to drive (nominally 4 ohm impedance, but dropping to under 3 ohms at 600hz). The Coda amp is a solid state class A/B design, built in the U.S., and available in 3 versions. All 3 versions go for the same price (list price is $7500), but have more or less watts biased to class A. I have the version 1, with 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with first 18 watts in class A. The versions 2 and 3 have less watts in class A, and more watts available in class B. All versions continue to double down as you halve the impedance. The Coda comes with a 10 year warranty, first 5 of which is transferable. The principals at Coda worked with Nelson Pass at Threshold. You may wish to call Coda and talk to Doug Dale. I purchased my amp new from Audio Archon, and Audio Archon and Mike Kay are very good to deal with as well.
High Current Integrated Options for Manger Speakers
Hey Folks:
Looking for suggestions for high current integrateds (tube, hybrid, or solid state) under $10k. Folks who have direct experience driving Manger loudspeakers with such are particularly encouraged to share your thoughts! Internal phono and DAC not required.

You might find the Circle Labs A200 interesting. Here's a thread on Audiogon where owners share their opinions, and here's a comment specifically about Circle Labs and Manger (link):
