@b_limo -- I placed an order for the Qualiton A50i yesterday. The retail price is $8000/black and $8500/silver. Most dealers will discount it by 10%, but from what I understand the margins are fairly thin to begin with so you will have to negotiate for something better.

If you're interested, take a look at Qualiton X200 ...

This one is probably in the sweet spot in terms of power, versatility, and price. I have no doubt it will drive even relatively low efficiency speakers nicely.

X200 is the sweet spot.

For $6500 the options open way up.

Lol, yeah no doubt.  Pass labs anyone?  Perhaps luxman or accuphase?

the kinki was $2000...

i hear mbl is good as well 😂

@twoleftears I have the X200 and if it cost $10G’s it would be worth it. 

Ordered the X200 2 days ago.

Curious how the X200 would compare against a Jadis.

Raven Audio Silhouette Reference Mono Tube Amplifiers MK2.1 (Pair) - KT88/6550C For Sale - US Audio Mart

Holy smokes! I just ordered a Blackhawk. But, wow, tempted to drive down there. Yes it is a long drive but, wow!

Have never heard that I know of but  looks like a very good deal and more good power never hurts.

@millercarbon
As much as I insist on maintaining my place on the "hateful xx" list, I actually posted the above for you. The pictures of it are beautiful.

I am curious why it has been on US Audio Mart so long w/o selling.

Easily the best photography of any Raven I have seen. Now I know what Dave and willgolf are talking about. Just beautiful! They are huge though. That alone gives me pause. If only it was a Shadow. I'd be all over it. 

I remember him saying he was purchasing the Raven Reflection...Mark III. (never even heard of that model).

How do you see any hate in that post, or an accusation of lying?

And lurking this place for a while there are are a number of you that have MC number.

You got that right.
You may wish to look up the meaning of that expression.

Gee Just the accusation that he was ordering a reflection MKIII

He merely stated he remembers him saying he was purchasing it.
Hardly an accusation.

I was in no way addressing an mc post.
You seem to be quite confused, and a bit angry. This is what happens when you stray off topic and make inflammatory statements about others.
For the betterment of this thread, please refrain from future inflammation.

@blimo,
any headway in resolving the issue of damage?

So back on topic Miller did step up.

I’m pretty certain that is in no way the topic of this thread.
You seem to be getting more confused by the minute.

"So, anyone with experience with the Raven Blackhawk LE pushing somewhat low sensitivity speakers chime in and let me know."

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that THAT is the topic of b_limo’s thread.
Not anything that anyone was purchasing, or considering purchasing.
Perhaps you and Vigo need to compare notes so you don’t get even more confused than you already are.

I’m going to leave you alone now before your trolley slips completely off its rails....

For those who missed the carnage, a certain member made a few inflammatory accusations that were not based in reality, and continued doubling down on his assertions while resorting to petty name calling. Assumably, he has now thought better of his actions and has self deleted his offending posts.

Boy, that escalated quickly...........

The amps are marked "Sold".  I hope the lucky person is an A'gon member.
