I just posted my review of the Raven Audio Osprey Integrated Amp (same upgraded components/sound as the Black Hawk). While auditioning amps, I did get to hear both the Osprey and Black Hawk. They are AMAZING. Here is my full review:
Which Tube amp is most refined, Stereo 40 MKIV Signature or Raven Audio Blackhawk MK3.1?
I will be driving LS35a’s. I know both are more than capable for my speaker load and room and are similarly priced. The Raven can be run with a high pass filter allowing it more headroom and the stereo, 40 MKIV Signature can be switched into triode. I just don’t know which one is the more refined sounding amplifier. I wondering if anyone has experience with the two different amplifiers. Thanks you.
