Last night I have another good feeling in these search . The primaluma pre-amp that a friend loan me , is connected to my McIntosh amplifier: I told my wife to spent a few minutes listening to ( a tidal master playlist fo classic jazz ), She is not an audiophile for sure, but I took her 5 minutes to notice something diferent and I was so surprised for her comment : " ….. that sound is like silk” , wow , now I know she wont complain when the Raven and chosen speakers boxes arrive home. By the way as you have notice I am not english fluent, I am an Urologic surgeon ( still very active ) living in a town in the Andes Mountains , Bucaramanga , Colombia, I know only two other audiophiles in our city to share the hobby , so , no, I do not have the experience you have even though I started reading , buying and trading gear at 15 years old. Thanks a lot , these forum is very interesting (and sometimes frightening )
NO listening sessions posible , bookshelf for a Raven Nighthawk
I have never listening to tube gear until I recently heard a prima Luna pre amp hooked to a McIntosh Mc.252 amplifier , I like the sound much better than the same set up with a ss McIntosh pream. ( C42) . So now I would like to buy a Raven Nighthawk III integrated amplifier to use it at my office , the space is 3.5 x 4.5 mts, with a bookshelf full of books on the back wall . The music I like is mostly classical and Jazz , I am looking for non fatiguing sound , warm and not to analytic. Life is full of compromises and unfortunately there is no hifi dealers nearby and I cannot spent a lot of time looking for “perfect sound,". Given that I need a good pair of bookshelf speakers with sensitivity of at least 88 db that matches the amp. Budget around $4.000, with not only SQ but an appearance to mach and reliability . So far I have on my list : Tannoy mini anniversary . Triangle comete 40 th anniversary , Omega super alnico monitor, Fritz carrera Be , Sonus Faber sonetto II ; Salk Silk AT monitors and Exotica monitor ( humm too expensive but gorgeous ), I am open to more suggestions, would you help me with your advice ?
