En Manley Stingray i mycket fint skick, både rör och mekaniskt. Säljes pga flytt. En verkligt udda fågel som låter bra med mer kraft än man kan tro från EL84, går att triodkoppla om man vill. Blir inte billigare än såhär, en ny över 100.000
The Manley Stingray is a beloved all-tube EL84 integrated that delivers genuine triode warmth with 20Wpc in triode mode, making it a standout for small-to-mid rooms. At SEK 18,000, this listing is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile (SEK 20,963) of recent comparable SEK listings, with the median at SEK 23,491 and 75th at SEK 28,181. This price is roughly 23% under the median and clearly undercuts typical used market value for this model in SEK.
What makes this a worthwhile buy is the Stingray’s reputation for clean, musical power from its 8 EL84s, plus its flexible ultralinear/triode switching and solid build quality. If this is original-owner condition with no modifications and includes the factory Russian NOS EL84M tubes, the upside is significant—especially at this price. No caveats are needed here; a clean listing of a well-loved tube integrated at this level is a clear buying opportunity for any enthusiast seeking authentic tube sound without overspending.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Manley Laboratories emerged in the late 1980s in Chino, California, as a collaboration between EveAnna Manley and her then-husband, David Manley, founder of Vacuum Tube Logic (VTL). Their initial offerings were high-fidelity vacuum tube amplifiers and preamplifiers, hand-built at VTL's facility. By 1989, the brand expanded into professional audio with the Reference 60dB Microphone Preamplifier, followed by iconic equalizers and microphones debuted at the 1990 AES Show. In 1993, Manley became an independent entity, operating from its Chino factory until 2025, where custom transformers became a signature of its warm, detailed sound.
The company specializes in premium tube-based audio gear, spanning professional studio tools like the VOXBOX channel strip, Massive Passive EQ, Variable Mu compressor, and Reference microphones, alongside hi-fi amplifiers, preamplifiers, and equalizers. All products feature in-house design, assembly, and quality control, emphasizing analog purity over digital conveniences such as speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Manley holds a commanding position in the high-end boutique market, revered by recording engineers and audiophiles for its rich tonal character, uncompromising build quality, and iconic styling. Trusted in top studios worldwide, its gear commands premium prices and a devoted following, recently transitioning under new ownership by audio veteran Dirk Ulrich in 2025 while upholding its American-made legacy.
