Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed?
Cool.  Thats kind of what I was thinking.  I’ve only ever had one tube amp, a prima luna prologue 3 or 5... cant remember.  I like it but Im thinking that the Raven will be a step up.  I may roll tubes and if I like the Raven but it doesn’t get lo... 
Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?
For a club experience at home, set it up like a club.  Put a mackie srm450 in each corner top corner.  Its important to have the speakers above everyone so that when people are standing up dancing, they dont block the speakers.  Add 4 big accompan... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"

Schiit customer service seems poor
Soooo Schiit is having inventory issues.  It is frustrating but not their fault. I had an issue with trying to buy a loki + which serms impossible; shame.  They refunded my money promptly (which apparently they never took, which caused some confus...

Older vs. newer REL subs
Dude, if you can get a pair of Salks there should be no question.  Everything Jim said was spot on.Im still holding true to what I said about a pair of T9x’s blowing your socks off, but my personal choice would be Salk (Rythmik)  subs....you sure ... 
How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)?

Older vs. newer REL subs
The Ti or Tx series are mot aimed at home theater use.  They do well with that application but they are even better with music. They are the fastest, most responsive subs I’ve heard, by far. They start and stop on a dime.The S3 SHO was a great sub...
