I have had an opportunity to listen to Steelhead Preamp with Neo Classic 500 Mono blocks and was moved. So my interest is peeked. Hiya, Some of the best amps that I've ever heard... I have owned two Stingrays, and heard most of their line from the early 2000s (model years). Their best amps are the Manley Neo-Classic 500 monoblocks which stack up well IMO, with the amazing amps made by VAC, LAMM, Blue Circle etc. Extremely fast, and high-current, - these amps grab ahold of your speakers with a tight leash and make them really sing. for me, - they are one of the no-brainers of high performance audio. The one caveat I would say is that with some models, - they can be a bit revealing, and so you want to match speakers and sources accordingly. For example, - if you have a very revealing DAC/CD player or turntable that really brings out the detail, - (and perhaps noise), - that is reflected through your system. I have heard the stingray with some AvanteGarde horns and that was not a good match, - IMO... Cheers, Manley Labs and motberg 1 1 Link to comment
