FWIW I drove Maggie 1.6s successfully with a Manley Stingray. I agree it did have a vibrant and punchy quality with this difficult load. It had beautiful tone as well.
Cary SLI-80 vs Manley Stingray
Hi all. How do these amps compare? I understand that the Stingray is somewhat punchier with a somewhat smaller soundstage, the Cary somewhat warmer, somewhat larger soundstage, slightly more rolled-off and weaker bass, but somewhat better in presenting inner detail & nuance. Is that about right? Unfortunately, I cannot audition either before buying. Thanks in advance.
