    Yep, nice amp. Usually one or two on Audiogon in the $1300-1500 range.

    Or you could step up to a pair of 240 monoblocks for $6K. It would be sweet to have a pair of tube amps that you could drive ANYTHING with. :D

    Or why not a pair of 500 monoblocks in case the furnace is broken in your house?

    I don't know, but I know that I would show them off like that also instead of hiding them away in somewhere. That much "Manley-ness" would be hard not to show off!

    Who cares, as long as they don't touch them.

    I love the look of the Stingray. If I stumbled upon one locally, it would be hard to turn it down.

    That's an excellent point Mike. Whenever I have non-audio folks over I make sure to explain that the gear is not to be touched.

    Yeah, I've been staring at that ad. It's about 20 minutes away from here. Can't really say that I need it, but that's not to say I wouldn't like it.

    If anyone wants to have me "store" it until you get near Chicago, let me know. ;)
