    Haven't heard them but I really dig those amps. Good company, solid products.

    Don't forget the 300b pre as well:

    The 300B Neo Classic preamp is wonderful. I will never part with it.

    The Manley 300B power amp is good, but I have to agree with Jerome about the Manley 300B preamp. It is an outstanding performer, and mates well with either tube or solid state amps.

    Re: Manley Neo-Classic SE / PP 300B ....

    ive heard the amps and love them, i never heard the preamp but it looks so cool, i love it too!!! best customer service in the bizz that i ever dealt with also. i mean i called once to find a manley dealer near me, i left a message and eve anna manley called me back. lol. and i called a few times with my snappers and even though i bought them used and didnt have a warranty they stayed on the phone with me and walked me through ever step of my issue until it was fixed. id like to own a manley product just to have them on my team.
    bet the neos, the 300b pre and the steelhead would be an alltime setup.

    Just to clarify, I said Shindo AND Manley. Not together. I have multiple parallel systems in the main room.
    Manley is the "american Shindo" imho in the sense that they put musical enjoyment before everything else. But Shindo adds much more resolution, microdynamics, stereo image....

    And yes, I was a trouble maker at school too and became a good boy at 17.
