Manley Snapper Mono's ur thoughts - PLEASE :

Today I just Sold My New Decware Zen TorII MK4 Tube amp and just purchased a set of Manley Labs Snapper Mono Blocks. Any one hear/use/own/know anything about these? I will be using them with Electrostatic Speakers, Martinlogan Spires and I would love any basic thoughts/Feedback about these. I have never heard them and going on my gut/faith in the brand based on what I have read and my love for the Manley 35 Watt mono's I own. Thank you very much for your time ...

I have them, great amps, wonderfully dynamic, warm mids and easy on the ear. Plus they are dead quiet and do not hum. Having said that, I use them to drive Thiels and am going to move up to Neo-Classic 250s soon. By far these are the best tube amps I have ever owned, I just want a little more oomph for these tough to drive speakers.

Thanks for the responses... Just curious any tubes you guys used that you would recommend? With the EL34 was thinking XF2 Double getter but their tough to find and pricey maybe the Tele on the input which I read might be better than the Mullard but would love to what others actually use/used... Thanks

I may have a pair of Manley 250s for sale soon. They are in excellent condition. Thought I'd mention this to you in case you were thinking of buying used.
