raven may well be a very well built, good sounding tube amp
clearly there are a few, maybe more than a few, let’s say ’vocal’ supporters of the brand here on this forum
but i have say, the folks who are coming to bat for the brand seem to walk a fine line towards turning other people off... perhaps not in what they are saying, but certainly how they are saying it - don’t think that benefits the amps nor the company - perhaps a 'less is more' approach would be more beneficial...
one day i may try a raven amp, for the present i am quite happy now with my vac, audio research, linear tube audio, audio mirror set tube amps (and a primaluna d-hp)... but maybe one day...
as for primaluna, there is a recent thread about the brand, their amps... they are popular, offer very good value for the money and sound very good, with a notable style of sound... much of the criticisms levied need to be taken with a grain of salt
