Yes the 600x should be one of the integrated I consider, Point to point, solid built, and nice feature set. It uses the s... | |
| Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings @facten Yes, I am very familiar with Aric's website and talked to him about the Transcend amplifier. Aric's approach was to allow use direct with sources not having volume control. It is not the same as having a true preamp or integrated. Hide45,... | |

| Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings Hi Hide45, good morning! As you can see from the post I made while you were typing I remain in a quandary regarding amplification. One that I am lucky to have, as I so enjoy this hobby and I now have the resources to delve deeper into. | |
| Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings Willgolf, I, like you, am concerned about vender reputation and service.

| Own many mid-game speakers or a few end-game speakers. Well, provided I were to use separates, had a preamp compatible with most amplifiers, and could afford three amplifiers, I would go with a pair of 2-way stand mounts, a panel type, and a high efficiency (sensitivity + impedance) floor stander. | |
| I knew room treatments were in my future. Might check out ATS Acoustics, Piper City, Illinois. Nice web site. Supply pre made panels and DIY. | |
