Re: Manley 300Bs incoming
Ah good to see some more love for the Manley stuff. They'll be powering my Tune Audio Prime horn speakers which are 93dB efficient, so thinking single-ended mode will be where I end up leaving them.

Re: Manley 300Bs incoming
It should be pure magic, some people don't agree with me but I'd trade my snappers for a good pair of set 300b's in a second if I knew they could drive my speakers.
Best of luck and definitely we need pics and details!!!Steve

Re: Manley 300Bs incoming
Huge Congrats !
This should be an awesome combo.
Manley is one of the most underrated brand in HiFi. And I cannot find any reason for it.
I own the 300 B Neo Classic preamp and the Snappers.
The 300B preamp puts to shame a McIntosh C1000 preamp.
And the Snappers were better to me than my 2301's !
So the Big Mcs left, and the Manley stayed....!Shindo, Nagra, Electrocompaniet, Harbeth, AMR, Mc Intosh, Auditorium 23, Rega, DeVore, JC Verdier, WireWorld, Kimber

Bob,
I like AS a lot but I dislike the mobile app a lot. I connect mostly with my ipad and iphone and I find the AS app not pleasant to use.Shindo, Nagra, Electrocompaniet, Harbeth, AMR, Mc Intosh, Auditorium 23, Rega, DeVore, JC Verdier, WireWorld, Kimber

Re: Manley 300Bs incoming
Sorry guys, been too busy listening to them I'll post pics tomorrow, but they're sounding fantastic.
They replace a 300B integrated, the sound with these is like the room is about 3x the size. Ie it's a big sound, without losing out to anything else. I'm loving the ability to switch from SE to PP, and dialling different values of negative feedback. I've also got some 16ohm speakers I sometimes use so having the ability to switch from 8 to 16ohm at the back is also fantastic. I change my stuff around a lot so the versatility of the Manleys is unmatched!
I'm still using a solid state pre so hopefully the Manley pre arrives by Xmas. But I have about 100hrs on the amps now so starting to get serious. I've also ordered some SRA platforms to keep them on, which should further improve things.
The amps have a very quiet background for a valve amp, I'm hoping the pre is the same.
