Quicksilver V4 vs Manley Snappers


Is anyone able to describe the differences between these 2 amps? Bass, midrange, heat, etc.....much appreciated.

If I only listened to rock I'd go with the V-4's just on their ability to use 6550, KT-88, 6L6s and EL-34 tubes. I'd use the 6550 or KT-88 for rock over the EL-34. I owned the V-4's with GL KT-88's re-issues to drive Vandersteen 3A Sigs, they are wonderful sounding amps with plenty of power and speed to rock.
A little more about the V-4's, it is easy and quick to check and adjust the tube bias if needed. This is a big deal as it lets you spend more time listening plus the added benefit of easily trying different bias settings permitting you to taylor the sound some. Did I mention they're bullet proof, run trouble free, a joy to own... etc...etc......
