Raven Audio Nighthawk


I ordered mine today, but didn’t think to ask here first of anyone has had experience with one. I haven’t read anything negative about any of their products anywhere.

i had a nighthawk and blackhawk for a while. they were both excellent sounding and quite similar. at that time they were shipping with nos svet winged c and nos rca, amperex tubes. tubes greatly affect the sound quality.
hard to beat with both low efficiency speakers in a smaller room or he speakers in a med large room.
transparent, colorful sound.
eventually i wanted more scale and moved on to kt 120 based tube amps and then solid state power amp with tube preamp driving large brit mons.
the first time i heard the nighthawk it was driving a set of kef ls 50s.
possibly the sweetest sound i have ever heard regardless of system cost.
enjoy !
I think you made an excellent choice. A Raven and their CeLest’ speakers will be the second 2 channel system in my home. I bought a Jolida Fusion 6802 last year to try a tube integrated out. I’m sold on tubes. I’ll be adding a pair of Tekton Double Impacts to the Jolida in the very near future. 
I got my Blackhawk Mk 3.1 in November.

Sounds great with excellent bass and power.
