Raven Audio Tube amps


I am thinking about pairing my Wilson Sasha 2's with the Raven Audio Silhouette MK2 mono blocks and Silhouette reference Preamp.  Does anyone have any experience with Raven Audio?   What do you think?   Comments appreciated.

hi,1st of all i have had 2 types of amplification my whole life(im 51)..i had mcintosh as a kid and NAD for last 20 years.. I have a very close relationship with some of the top analog sellers in the industry.I have wanted to get a tube amp. for about 1 year and had done my own research and some testing done at local hi end stores..I was told "ANDY,DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU TALK TO DAVE". inside of 3 minutes,we connected. our passion for sound is unmatched. I told him my speakers tekton enzo xl,
We both agreed a perfect match. i instantly bought the blackhawk integrated LE .  On very 1st listen..i was startled..The music has a realism that is at the very essence of pure natural sound. Every instrument had more detail,clarity and presence. the most impressive thing yet:the natural dynamics of the music. The swings are more pronounced as they were intended.  Oh,by the way..his 20 watts qeuals 200,300 or whatever of top of the line solid state. His 20 watts equals most mid to hi tube amps 75 watts..He can and will explain why.But in a nut shell its what they do with voltage regulation and power supply that no one seems to do.   if you have a real deal loud speaker big and bold and you want to hear you vinyl or your dsd files the way they  REALLY SOUND ; raven raven raven audio    its a case closed issue.. andy rothman  [email protected]
willgolf..i never saw your post..listen..legacy is amazing..there is no doubt of the established they are the best for the money..however..tekton for 2000.00! is the best value in audio/speaker history..my enzo xl's with the blackhawk or now the 300B "THE RAVEN"... its a joke..3500 for a 20 watt top of line tube amp. 2000 for a ridiculous,innovative,hi end loud speaker..you really need to spend 50,000+ to get to my level of sound with raven and tekton. the 300b the raven,may be the best sounding int.amp in the world:PERIOD.END OF STORY.  i am now buying eric's open baffle design speaker to pair with the raven. eric considers it to be one of the 10 best sounding speakers in earth's history. AND I DONT DOUBT HIM AT ALL.  any questions at all please email me at [email protected] dont visit these site often. regards andy
il go on to say that legacy's focus se in a blind shoot out with the tekton enzo xl..there would be no clear cut winner..

willgolf..how on earth can you not have a system for 7 months...i cant have a system down for more than 4 hours. i have  3 analog systems on a 3 floor home in miami. with turntable back ups and phono stage back ups..sorry,dont get it at allllll   regards andy
for those of you who do not want to spend 10k and up..dont fret or worry. the blackhawk limited edition for 3450.00 is =to any other 10k tube amp.. i cant tell you how dynamic,how much punch this "20wpc" amp has...its mind boggling..it has deep tight defined bass and an all natural soundfield...my raven 300b ,of course has much more detail,transparency etc..however..there really is no difference in power and punch and dynamics
