Manley Snapper mono blocks-Your opinions please

Do not have a dealer in town for an audition, I always have an urge for the tube-mono blocks and intend to purchase a pair soon, if you have owned or currently own the Manley Snapper amps please give me some advices. Do they sound more like SS amps? From the reviews, I have the sense that the Manley Snapper's sound is forwarding .Most of the reviewers agreed that the Manley Snapper monos were very good for rock music, What's about small piece of Jazz?
