| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? They might sound good enough, but too much potential left on the table. This summed it up. It sounded really good and better than the belles aria. It would push right up to the aria in output / dynamics. Maybe 90%I was really curious what 95+db ... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? You all are so wrong....LoL, just kidding! So Im jamming out to some borrowed cheapo pair of Klipsh’s right now... 97db-100db sensitivity...

| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Haven’t really followed the thread for a few days... looks like it took a turn,Anyways, still enjoying the Raven.

| What’s the relationship between gain (dB) and power (watts)? Awesome question and one I’ve been contemplating myself.and awesome answer MC, thanks to the op and the og | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... I started this thread late one night after a few crowns... totally forgot about it.I’ve since moved from a gorgeous sounding Belles Aria Integrated to an older Raven Blackhawk. I was concerned about moving from the Belles to another class A/B bec... | |

| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Older Blackhawks dont have the eq feature but I can get it installed on mine and will do so.I am just blown away by this amp. I just left and dropped off the Belles at Fed Ex; big gime sellers remorse. Come home and fire up the Raven and Man, wa... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? lol, Im not an MC hater by any means. May put off some people but not me.So, Im a tinker’er through and through.

| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Yeah, so these 20 watts are plenty. So weird. Who would have thought. And yes, this amp is pretty cool. Dont think its going anywhere except to Raven for some service, updates, upgrades. Ravens customer service is awesome, and their prices a... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? How long does it take to get a tube amp warm? Its been 30 mins now, shes radiating some heat, and it sounds really damn good. I switched to 8 ohm tap... whats the difference between the two? My speakers are nominal 6 and dip probably too 2 or 3... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? So Im able to get an average of 90dbs with 95db peaks spl at my listening seat...I am missing a bit of dynamics / slam that I had with Belles but the Raven is slightly more open and clear. We’ll see we’ll see | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? So I have the Raven hooked up. It was a preowned hnit and Im having issues with the sub out; it wont adjust the volume on the sub. It passes the sub signal through the amp with the Raven off... strange.Anyhow, its not warmed up yet and it actual... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Man, so confused! My heart says go for the Raven, my head says maybe not. The Raven is so sexy but I am into dynamics and loud...I want tubes but I want power too. I need more $, lol.I don’t know, we’ll see. If I don’t like the Raven / Salks co... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @fuzztone, lol, thanks for the candid response. I know it wasn’t mean, just your truthful opinion (which might be factual!) and it made me chuckle, so thanks for that | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? So 85db’s at 1 meter is fine, 75 dbs at 2 1/2 meters...I ususlly dont listen at ear bleeding levels. We’ll see!
