Raven vs primaluna integrated amplifiers


I have a pair of tannoy XT6F’s and I’m looking to pair them with a tube amplifier. I was originally looking at the primaluna evo 100 or 200 but the idea of spending that kind of money on a product made in China turns me off a bit. I recently looked into raven audio’s nighthawk mk3 and it’s definitely got me intrigued. Any thoughts or input on this pairing would be awesome. I’m open to other suggestions as well. I’d like to stay under $3000.
thank you

I dislike MC  misinformation regarding Prima Luna.  Prima Luna is based in the Netherlands and Kevin Deal is a co-owner of the company. He is also the US Importer. The factory in China makes only Prima Luna and Mystique.    It has been building Prima Luna since day one.  This is the same BS that was spewed by some of the people who posted to this thread regarding my GE Speakers.  Designed in America and built in China.  Again at a factory that ONLY makes GE products.  

I get a kick out of all you so called patriots thumping your chest and only buying American products. I do not believe any of you for even one minute that you care about the Chinese workers and that is why you buy American. You all are singing American praise because it is now the politically correct thing to do.


I am very heavily invested in USA manufactured McIntosh but I do not diss something made in China either. My GE speakers are an American company that has its products built in China. I am ok with that and I care less if anyone else takes offense by it. After all, it’s my money I am spending, not yours.


Honestly, the “poor Chinese worker” does not come to my mind when I look at equipment. I am also positive the American worker is not on any of the Chinese minds. It’s now a global economy so get over your prejudices.
