Manley snapper vs Atma-sphere M60


Trying to figure out the best way to go between these 2 amps.  They'll be lighting up Tannoy Kensingtons.  I play mostly rock on CD's.

Any thoughts/comments......thanks.

gwng8, I own Snappers and previously had a different model from AtmaSphere.  I agree that Ralph is one of the best for product support, but I found Manley to be very good as well when I had a problem -- friendly, competent service.

Regarding sonics, I had different speakers and it was years ago for the AtmaSpheres, so not relevant to compare.  Other than the different presentation from an OTL design, another consideration is the Snappers have a fixed output around 5 ohms while AtmaSphere amps typically perform best into loads higher than 8 ohms.  What is the rating for the Kensingtons?

Oh yes, EveAnna Manley often utilizes Tannoys for demos with her electronics and at one time (not sure about current) she matched the Snappers with Tannoys in her personal system.  And she loves R&R!
Thanks to Ralph for being a real gentleman here.  He replies to simply report relevant information without attempting a big sales push.

That is unlike a dealer commenting over at Speakers who continues to push the OP to come to their store.  If like Ralph, they could simply state what they see as positives in some of the products they sell.  But my sense is they continue to post, using the Forum as a sales tool.
