Raven Audio Tube amps

mac4802520 posts06-20-2016 3:34pmAs I've already mentioned I love my Raven Audio Blackhawk with my Tekton Enzo's PERFECT MATCH

I also have a Raven Audio "Blackhawk LE" integrated amp. The Raven comes close to the far more expensive and powerful Ayon Audio "Triton III" and it does make beautiful music. The speakers I am using are top-end Avalon Acoustic "Eidolon".

The Raven amp is extraordinary, it sounded beautiful right out of the box and right after power up. I can not say enough about this amp: It must be the "deal of the century" in tube gear. Right now I am not sure where I will end up using the Raven, so until I decide I will keep switching interconnects and speaker cables as I play these two amps off against each other. 

i had the nighthawk and blackhawk and each delivered an extraordinary high end sound quality.

Hi avanti1960, did you sell your nighthawk? Just curious what amp you are using with your ls50 now?

I posted above, this is an update. 

I moved the Raven Blackhawk LE from my living room system into my home office where I previously had some excellent solid state Parasound gear (the "Z" half-width rack-mountable gear, very good). Well... All I can say is that I just upgraded my home office experience. Previously the Raven drove a pair of Avalon Acoustics speakers (wow). Now, it's driving (designing on my whim) either a pair of Martin Logan bookshelf speakers or a similar set of Mordant-Short bookshelfs. Both sound excellent with this amp. I've also ran a red other older speakers through this, including some excellent yet cheap Energy speakers. All sound great and in all cases I got absolutely excellent soundstages and holographic placement.
