Audio Research I/50 integrated?

@mtbiker29 - I wasn't down on the I50  but I liked the Stingray looks far better.... personal preference. I have had the Manley now since July 4th... love it, very happy with my decision.... 

I looked at the I/50 very seriously, liked it alot...went with the Manley Labs Stingray II...The local Audio dealer by me had them matched with a pair of Atohm Floor standers.

Positives: Impressive across the Audio Spectrum, soundstage, clarity etc

Negatives: Optically for our room, just didn't make it...the dials didn't feel great (although neither did the Manley...I use the remote for sound)...the tubes with the #'s were a little gimmicky for me and hard to read...

From my chair, if your speakers are high efficient, you will be very pleased...Great company, like I said it was a strong runner up...

Best of luck with your decision...

@yakbob ....Correct.... The Manley is easily biased by the owner... I have done mine several times... The amp comes with a meter and easy instructions to do this. Having to send the amp back to be biased would be a deal breaker

Here is a new review of both.... Never watched this guy before...
