Cary SLAM 100 vs. Manley Snapper

Tom_, Do the Snappers have more punch with the cary in 95W triode mode or 165W ultra-linear mode?

Not 100% sure how he is using them with his Vandersteens (quatros) but tried both with my Harbeths. Both amps are very nice. But the flow of the music seemed to move along at a better pace with the Manleys. YMMV. His system also uses a Cary preamp. Mine is posted here. At the used prices i dont think you would have any trouble turning them if you tried both.

Thanks for the response Tom, I'm looking for a nice pair of used snappers to pop up..

Good luck with your purchase. Hopefully they will be what your looking for.

I have a mint pair of SLAM 100s with boxes & new tubes if your search for Manleys doesnt come up as quickly as you like. Ive been very happy with them but I wanted to go back to SS as I located the amps that match the rest of my setup. Best of luck.
