Stingray Integrated Amplifier
It all began at the HI-FI '97 show, at the bar of course, where things like
this seem to happen. J. Gordon Holt was with his traditional martini, and
EveAnna Manley with her stimulant of choice, a cup of coffee. She was describing
a new, integrated amplifier she wanted to build and sketched one of those
legendary "bar napkin drawings". Gordon remarked, "It looks like a stingray!"
(the fish, not the car.) And so, in honor of J. Gordon Holt, we call this
catch of the day: "The Stingray". No stinger, but it sure does pack a punch!

MAHI Power Amplifier
These cute little guys produce around 40 watts RMS in Ultra-Linear mode
or around 20 watts in TRIODE from a quartet of EL84 / 6BQ5 tubes driven
by a 6414 dual triode driver and a 12AT7EH input dual triode. The EL84 has
been one of our very favorite tubes for many years, extremely long lasting
and reliable, and can be considered the smaller brother of the much beloved
EL34: really quick-sounding both in the bass and especially in the top end.
And of course this has a lot to do with our Manley Output transformer, the
same one we build for the Manley Stingray.

Snapper Power Amplifier
Brand new for 2002 we present to you a very tasty all-tube 100 watt monoblock
called The Snapper (oceanic names continuing). We also welcome you to catch
a school of Snappers for surround systems. Another brilliant design from
Mitch Margolis features a quartet of EL34's in a fully differential circuit
topology, including the input (12AT7) and driver (7044) stages. This Snapper
can be driven fully balanced all the way through via the XLR inputs.

Neo Classic 250 Watt Monoblock Power Amplifier
New Neo-Classic Design for 2000! Same great ballsy sound, new chassis design
to fit in those HUGE new transformers! The NEO-Classic 250 are available
now. A magazine reviewer once wrote the following about the Manley
250's: "In triode mode a pair of Manleys produces a remarkably three dimensional
soundfield that is both convincing and seductive. When switched into tetrode
mode, the Manleys have the brawn to deliver a full symphony orchestra directly
into your living room." "When I listened through the same cut through the
triode mode tube amps, I cried. Yup, tears ran down my cheeks while I bounced
up and down, waving my arms, physically buffeted by the raw emotion of the
music. Emotion- that essential component at the very core of great music.
The Manleys pass through that emotional information, but the (solid-state
amps) don't."
