Haven't heard the Stingray, but I have heard the Cary SLI-80 driving Aerials and Spendors. It is a wondeful sounding piece that I would buy in a skinny minute.
Cary SLI-80 vs Manley Stingray
Hi all. How do these amps compare? I understand that the Stingray is somewhat punchier with a somewhat smaller soundstage, the Cary somewhat warmer, somewhat larger soundstage, slightly more rolled-off and weaker bass, but somewhat better in presenting inner detail & nuance. Is that about right? Unfortunately, I cannot audition either before buying. Thanks in advance.
