I can say without hesitation the “least fake” presentation of an Integrated/Speaker combo I have experienced are the Raven Audio Blackhawk with the Raven Audio Corvus Tower System. Following are lists of integrateds and speakers that I or my brother, who has been my teammate in this addiction for close to 50 yrs, can remember owning. And yes, the size of the lists does confirm the severity of our addiction :). BTW we are in agreement in this assessment. This of course doesn’t mean it is the best there is, it is just the best we have experienced.
