Manley snapper vs Atma-sphere M60


Trying to figure out the best way to go between these 2 amps.  They'll be lighting up Tannoy Kensingtons.  I play mostly rock on CD's.

Any thoughts/comments......thanks.

I love Rock music on the Atma-Sphere more than SET or Push and Pull. I don't know why but I always feel The Atma seem to handle complex music easily and feel more relaxed when doing so even when your pushing the volumes to crazy levels. SET Amps don't seem to work well on this and push-pull amps all depend on power and how its implemented. Still, After all these years, the OTL from Atma seems to reign supreme over other amps iv tried. This applies to any genre of music. Not just audiophile recordings.
The Atma-Sphere M60, in my opinion, would be the ideal choice, 60 watts of purity, Speed, Dynamics, smoothness, Ultra low distortion and fatigue-free listening. It does carry the weight and emotion of the music you listening in a special way. 

If you do get the amp or any Atma-sphere amps. Make sure you get all the upgrades, Power Supply Boost, Caddoc Resistor Package and the Vcaps. Many Amps in my listening room worth even 4X the price have not done it all as good the Atma-Sphere Stuff.
