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

@b_limo 

When you get the damage issues resolved with FedEx I think you will really enjoy the M1.  I am using an M1+ in one system and a Supratek Chardonnay and an EX-M7 in another.  Both are great amps with similar sound.  Both of my units came last summer and don't really remember who delivered them but I thought it was DHL and both units arrived in pristine condition.  If you bought factory direct have you reached out to Ken or Alvin?

To clarify, I do believe the Kinki. Is functioning normal.  The issues are really the whole front circuit board that attaches the 2 knobs and front display are all very loose.  1/4 - 1/2 of play on the knobs up and down and in and out.  Back bottom left corner is nicked which is nuts because its 1/4 thick...

anyhow, this was a used unit in pristine shape.  Seller is awesome and now someone I consider to be my friend.  Old timer in the game and he knows just about everyone.  Fritz and he are good friends and I consider Fritz a good friend as well.

Not to always plug Fritz’s speakers, but they are awesome. Buy a pair if you are looking and on the fence.  Salk is great as well but more expensive and longer wait times.  Frit’z veneer work is on par if not better than Salk.  
Sorry to digress but yes, the Kinki is just awesome.  I really liked my Belles Aria and Raven as well but the Kinki is more in line with the upgrade I was looking for. The things internals are just gorgeous.  I have never personally owned an amp with a better layout internally.  Very simple, straightforward, no bs layout with really nice stuff in there.  Reminds me of the Arias internals only multiplied by 2.

no complaints with the kinki.  Hopefully I can recoup some money from fed ex, fix the kinki myself and keep it.  

Anyone considering a kinki...if the sound profile fits your desires, grab one.  The build quality is awesome, its jewelry to look at (only surpassed by rowland in my opinion, not talking triangle art or whatever).    

@hilde45, the tweeters used in many of tektons speakers are a soft dome sb acoustics tweeter, probably $50.  The other drivers are probably in the $30-$100 range.  Fritz and Salk use drivers that are more in the $120-$350 price range.

with all that in mind though, enclosures and crossovers as well as design play huge roles.  I’ve had too many speakers to count and totem arros were real eye openers and used maybe $100 worth of drivers in total.  However, I’ve never heard a seas excel driver that didn’t sound smooth as butter.  With high end drivers, at worst you’ll get a speaker that sounds decent.

Heres a link to the tweeters, or similar to what tekton uses.

i should add that he does offer a be upgrade but when cost of tweeter goes from$65 to $300, and you use 7 per speaker, things get pricey.

I think a moab with Seas excels all the way through would be awesome.  Also, it needs to look better.  Kind of ikea level as opposed to fine furniture.
