Have not heard the Snappers but I say they appear to be the same design as the MB125s, outside of being fully balanced. Depends on the deal you can get, if you need balanced or the style you prefer. The Snappers are unique looking, the MB125s more traditional. and available in black or silver.
Comparing VTL ST85 or MB125s to Manley Snappers
Has anyone out there spent time with either of the VTL amps mentioned and a set of Manley Snapper monos? If so could you discuss the sound of the two different brands compared to each other. I am very familiar with the two VTLs and they do sound alike and understand the shared family history with the two company's. All these amps are EL34 based and am hoping that the Snappers share a lot of the VTL sound. What say you?
