Manley Snapper mono blocks-Your opinions please

Do not have a dealer in town for an audition, I always have an urge for the tube-mono blocks and intend to purchase a pair soon, if you have owned or currently own the Manley Snapper amps please give me some advices. Do they sound more like SS amps? From the reviews, I have the sense that the Manley Snapper's sound is forwarding .Most of the reviewers agreed that the Manley Snapper monos were very good for rock music, What's about small piece of Jazz?

the word snapper should be changed to "snappy". the house sound of recent manley designs is the modern tube sound--a bit to unforgiving for my taste.

hi nickword:

i am considering a pair of quicksilver midmonos. i heard some of the more powerful quicksilver amps and found them a bit aggressive in the treble region.

what is your take on the quicksilver amps you own ? i am somewhat reluctant to buy any current quicksilver product because i don't think the amps have the classic tube sound, like some of the older conrad johnson amps.
