Manley vs VTL??

Manley: Mostly use EL34 for their amp. Have more variety on small amp and preamps. Ms Eva Manley is very helpful with excellent customer support. Manley amp looks fun
VTL: Almost use 6550 tubes in all of their new amp. Their amp looks neat.

David lives in France now. There was a rumor that he would once again start manufacturing amplifiers. Under what name your guess. Shaun from ESP loudspeakers also is near him and they are good friends that may have a venture together.

Qdrone . . . the other way around . . . David is the father, Luke the son.

I had one listening experience with the VTL amps. I ended up buying the Manley Neo 250's. Ms. Manley "bent over backwards" to provide an audition opportunity before I purchased because there are no dealers in my state. She/their customer service has been outstanding since I purchased the amps.

yes, it sounds the same
