This TM listing may be worth checking out. Listing #: 2818304495. It is for a pair of Manley Mahi Mahi p-p monoblocks (very similar to the Stingray but on two chassis). The buy now is NZ$2.5k which I suggest is a good price given the US$2.5 list price. It gives a bit over 20 watts in triode and 40 in ultralinear so should drive most speakers except inefficient multiways. A 6Moons review can be found on 6moons.com/audioreviews/manley5/seafood.html. It might suit you steviewunda.

Never met an EL84 amp I didn't like. (Except maybe this one - Manley Labs have a clunky, modern-baroque sense of styling.)

Dunno, I listened to a set of VTL tiny triodes which were absolutely horrid sounding things. Leak Tl20 and TL12 pluses were nice though.

The Japanese pentode EL84 based Almorro A205A is a little sweetie - and cheap although it might now be out of production. There was a Mk 1 and 2.

I'm not in the income bracket to even consider Manley gear but aesthetically speaking, I could never go there. Awful looking stuff! And yes, I do care what it looks like even if it sounds good.
