What is the sonic differences between Manley and..

i've had both in my house, and the vtl seemed to be less tubelike...in a good way, like mac.....the manley sounded rolled off in the upper regions and fat in the upper bass. the vtl was more linear, with a pretty solid bass.

Which models? Which year?

Since the split, both companies have been evolving but both can take pride in quality products. You just can't compare a 300B to the Snappers or those to the Wotan.

Ngjockey...just the "family" sound if possible? Perhaps....VTL 450 vs Manley 300???
