Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed?

fiesta75"OP, glad you're evaluating the Nighthawk, enjoy? My question to the tube people, who drives their amplifiers into clipping?  Only the idiot (my word) drive their amps into clipping"

It is probable and likely that you drive you're amps periodically, occassionally and likely imperceptibly in to clipping most everyone does it with out being conscious or aware it is the logarithmic nature of the power required in a Music Reproduction System.

Yeah, so these 20 watts are plenty. So weird. Who would have thought.

Too funny.

Again. A beautiful thing to see. Put another notch in that belt, MC!

No lack of current from tube amps to drive more difficult loads well is fact not narrative. How it sounds in terms of bloom and other subjective terms IS pure narrative. It may sound nice but could sound better with better dynamics and less distortion if speakers are driven well. Not to say everyone will like better more. Better is better. What one likes is totally subjective which is fine. Lots of people like junk food but you can do much better.
