Manly Stingray....Opinions from any owners?


I am considering a Manly Stingray II as an amp for my streaming system... The design is intriguing.., I have heard an older model, sounded very nice driving a pair of older Polks.

My question to the owners:

1.) Are u happy with it?

2.) What speakers are u using?

3.) What DAC are u using?

Thank you

This is a great integrated amp. My best pairing was with Larsen 8.2 speakers.

I replaced my Stingray with a Neo Classic 300B / Mahi monoblock (same amp as Stingray in monoblock format) combo. Couldn't be happier. Driving a pair of Legacy Classic HD speakers and a pair of Legacy Metro subs. ANK 4.1x DAC.

Poke, 

I can’t speak for the Stringray, but I had a pair of Neoclassic 250s once upon a time. They were around 10 years old, maybe a little older, if I remember correctly. I was the second owner.

Truly a great product with great customer service. Never had a day of issue outside of delivery. After being jostled around, one of the tubes had a meltdown and took out a cathode resistor. 
 

Manley had new resistors soldered with clip-ons for easy installation for the soldered-challenged out to me in a few days. 
 

Only got rid of them because 20 EL34s made my small room quite toasty and I’m a cold-weather bear. 

Definitely miss them.

Thanks KD...My limited interaction with the company has been solid so far...appreciate the feedback
