| Cheap Tweeks Cheap tweeks.... Diversitech EVA Anti-Vibration Pad under my Klipsch LaScalas on my unstable wooden floor snapped the audio image into sharp focus. Quite remarkable actually. Short of buying the IsoAcoustics GAIA I Speaker Isolators @ $599.95 pe... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Millercarbon has caught me at it again...I stand accused of hyperbole! (All in good humour) May I really be honest with you? The Blackhawk is really Waaayyyyy better. Since I've owned both the Nighthawk and Blackhawk I should know! The tone and ti... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk I have owned both the Nighthawk AND Blackhawk. Had Nighthawk almost a year then traded up to Blackhawk. Almost didn't make the change because I honestly didn't believe it could get better (law of diminishing returns theory). I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG... | |

| how can low watt tube amps drive speakers with higher power requirements "Back in the day" we bought stereo systems and the first thing asked was, " How many watts?" Every manufacturer played the numbers game to perfection because we had become "spec sheet scientists". {RMS @ 8 Ohms 20 - 20000...THD 0.000001 S/N ratio.... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 Hey Stonecutter54...do call them. One of my biggest surprises was when my wife (listening from adjacent room) said, "It sounds like the cello is in the room!" She was stunned and coming into the room said (pointing at the Nighthawk Integrated amp)... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 Its a long story....worked at stereo store back in the day. McIntosh dealer, Nakamichi, etc. So we tried everything. Luxman was hot then too. Lived with McIntosh MC 2105 with Luxman C-1010 pre for quite a while. Crook stole my new Bang and Olufsen... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 Millercarbon is right again...per usual. I do listen to a wide variety of music, including some Rush, Grand Funk Railroad, J. Geils Band, Aerosmith, but who can beat some Antonio Carlos Jobin, Bebel Gilberto, and Maria Rita? Debussy can shine in a... | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV Hey JB...I know how you feel. (Disregard the haters) Its the super efficiency of the Klipsch Heritage group. I104db @ 1 watt RMS into 8 Ohms) Any change in kit is amplified in its noticeable impact. Early on I wondered why "everything" made a suc... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 The Triton 2's are rated at 92 @ 1 watt so...they are a tad hard to drive but (depending on your volume preference) they should be fine. Room size and brightness will also be a factor. (If you live in a 30' X 30' carpet store it could be a problem... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget Being a reader of such forums, we all run into the Klipsch fan boy. However, I asked myself why? "Why do these people exist?" Loyal, passionate, convinced....so, 5 years ago I bought a new pair of LaScalas. Let me cut to the chase. I think I can n... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? This question reminds me of the "journey" my Klipsch LaScalas have made with me. I bought the pair first, before I could afford hardly anything even remotely equal to their quality. They had to endure crappy SS Cambridge Audio AV receiver, Crap CD... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 As to bass bypass... just follow the overly simple instructions in manual EXCEPT do NOT trying switching it back and forth while amp is on. TURN OFF before changing setting. The manual does say this but it bears repeating. With Raven off, and conn... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 In answer to how I arrived at the Raven Nighthawk 1) Made in USA 2) Crazy good reviews 3) Total upgrade value within year (Or immediate refund) Primaluna, Leben, and Line Magnetic are made overseas. NOW I know that the personal service from Raven ... | |
| 6000 dollars CD player I'd like to AMEN the endorsement of the Yamaha S2100. Have owned too many CD players to mention including the famed Oppo's, NAD, Cambridge Audio, etc. All sounded 'digital'. This Yamaha is the first which leaps over the expanse into the magical jo... |
