Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it


The title pretty much explains it. I have a raven nighthawk mk3.1 paired with tannoy XT6F’s. I love the sound. It’s never harsh, very clear and dynamic and the bass hits with authority. I am curious who else has a raven amp and what speakers do you have paired with it. What’s your experience?

I have a Blackhawk LE and Reference 3A MM de Capo i speakers. I’m very happy with the combination.
Apogee Full Range. I remember sitting about half a foot away and really enjoying the headroom.
@james1911 --if you do not have a lot of experience with audio components then you did a great job starting off.  Some low cost things you can do in addition to what Millercarbon said....SR orange fuse / duplex, 1260 contact enhancer and tube swapping which Dave Thomson could help you with.

Then you could get into upgrade cables, power cords, power conditioners etc.  Raven also has some low cost cables that are really inexpensive and pretty darn good for the money.  

The Raven speakers matched wit the Blackhawks are superb.

I had the Raven Reflection MK2 paired to Sonus Faber Amati Tradition homage speakers....Oh My!!!!

You have just begun your audio journey my friend.  It is addicting!




willgolf, that sounds like an amazing system. I will definitely be looking into speaker isolation and some pods for my amplifier. Maybe upgrade to the Blackhawk or the osprey within a year so I can take advantage of ravens upgrade deal. I definitely like ravens cables as well.
@james1911 -- if you haven't tried it yet, replace the stock power cord with something nicer. I swapped the stock cord on my Blackhawk MK3 with an Audio Envy Mega 3 power cord a few months ago. It was like someone added a rocket booster to the amp.
