Hello,
This has not been active for a while but I thought I could inquire how you came to the decision of purchasing Raven Audio Nighthawk. I have researching options for the past few weeks and have started to narrow down my potential choices. I too have La Scalas IIs and Cornwall IIs and is currently using what a lot of folks would consider beginner tube amps. They both do sound great with what I currently have but from what I have been reading, I can get more out of these speakers and enjoy them more. So far, I have been looking at DECWARE Torii Jr, Raven and Bob Latino's VTA ST-70. And from your description of the musicality of the Ravens, they compare well with the DECWARE. Both are transparent and can bring out the best in your speakers. Both have lifetime warranty and excellent build qualities. Except that the Raven is a true integrated amp. If they perform very similar, the Raven would be a better buy price wise. It is a tough decision without trying out the amps and both have return policy with restock fees but would rather not go through that if I can. Opinions from fellow La Scala or Cornwalls owners would be valuable and appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
