Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??.

I did some extensive listening with the Blackhawk LE paired with 92dB sensitivity Legacy Audio Signature SE speakers.  The sound was just excellent from top to bottom, but especially vocals.  The Raven are built in Texas for sure.  Call Dave and talk to him, he'll fix you up.

The Blackhawk LE is easily one of the absolute best sounding integrated amplifiers out there for less than $5K.  They give you your money back if you don't like the amp!  Who else does THAT?

The review that Terry London wrote in Home Theater Review said that the Raven Audio Nighthawk blew the Rogue Audio and Prima Luna out of the water in both bass response, overall sound quality, and dynamics and was a better built better looking chassis overall.

Steve Huff Hi Fi Review said it beat his $10K McIntosh 300wpc monoblocks in power and even sounded better, and also beat the Audio Research VSi75 too!  That is an expensive pair of very well known amps.  I guess it also sounded at least as good as the Line Magnetic (which heated up his room in minutes) but wasn't nearly as hot.  So a cool tube amp that runs cool too!

Those are some staggering statements made about that little amplifier that little amp company down in Texas.  I like the handles!  My favorite is the pearl colored Osprey.

I heard that lately they have been having a tough time keeping up with demand.  Website says Dave is at 936-662-5100

Something to consider

This is my opinion of course and without having heard a Raven I find it very far fetched that a Raven just "blows" the other amps out of the water or not even close. You can't tell me that a point to point wired, 65 lb Primaluna Premium integrated or even the Ayon for that matter can't match a 35 lb Raven in bass response. Me thinks the article is pushing the Raven just a tad.  Like I said this is my 2 cents but when the PL and Ayon weigh twice as much this tells me they are better built and can handle bass response and heft better.
