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."
