Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it

My Blackhawk is ordered, and according to James will be shipping early next week. Dave is very familiar with my Moab speakers, they have run their amps with Moabs at various shows to the point where he has his favorite tubes to pair with them. Which he will be sending me. So hopefully by the end of next week.....

Had a Raven for 3 weeks paired with Salks… it was slightly underpowered for my inefficient speakers…. In addition the sub out wasn’t working properly.  However, it was a phenomenal amp. Much preferred over prima luna for some reason 🤷🏼‍♂️

Had a Belles Aria prior and now a Kinki Studio EXM1.  All 3 are exceptional for different reasons

I would highly recommend Raven

I have a Blackhawk MK3 paired with Von Schweikert VR-33's, and am continually impressed with how lifelike they sound together.  
I get sound levels of 80-85 db with the volume control at 10-11 o'clock with my speakers 90db sensitivity. 

@james1911 -- if you haven't tried it yet, replace the stock power cord with something nicer. I swapped the stock cord on my Blackhawk MK3 with an Audio Envy Mega 3 power cord a few months ago. It was like someone added a rocket booster to the amp. 

willgolf, that sounds like an amazing system. I will definitely be looking into speaker isolation and some pods for my amplifier. Maybe upgrade to the Blackhawk or the osprey within a year so I can take advantage of ravens upgrade deal. I definitely like ravens cables as well.

@james1911 --if you do not have a lot of experience with audio components then you did a great job starting off.  Some low cost things you can do in addition to what Millercarbon said....SR orange fuse / duplex, 1260 contact enhancer and tube swapping which Dave Thomson could help you with.

Then you could get into upgrade cables, power cords, power conditioners etc.  Raven also has some low cost cables that are really inexpensive and pretty darn good for the money.  

The Raven speakers matched wit the Blackhawks are superb.

I had the Raven Reflection MK2 paired to Sonus Faber Amati Tradition homage speakers....Oh My!!!!

You have just begun your audio journey my friend.  It is addicting!

Apogee Full Range. I remember sitting about half a foot away and really enjoying the headroom.

I have a Blackhawk LE and Reference 3A MM de Capo i speakers. I’m very happy with the combination.

Your Tannoys at 90dB are a little low but totally doable, which is why the great sound. That's a great amp, with good speakers. I would rather be extracting the most from them with Pods and Podiums before even thinking about another set of speakers. Pods for sure, the Raven will sing even more. 

I had a Blackhawk Paired with them Volti Audio Razz and then the Raven Audio CeLest. Sounded best the CeLest.

Sensitivity is critical with that integrated.

I love it so far. The problem is I do not have a lot of experience with different equipment so I based my system off of a lot of reviews. The problem with that is I don’t know if I’m missing out or not beings that I haven’t tried a lot of gear. But based on what I’m hearing I really enjoy the sound I’m getting.

That sounds like a very good pairing.
