Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed?

That sub out thing with the Blackhawk is strange. Would like to hear from the vendor if that is by design or something else. Agree I would not want a unit designed with a fixed level output to a sub. That sounds like design flaw which makes me wonder. WIth that out put and the high pass filter feature, sounds like they tried to make the amp integrate flexibly with subs out of the box by design but failed due to that.

There is a video where Dave questions this feature with James ????      https://youtu.be/Gcd76DZmbdY

Just get an Audio Hungary Qualiton and be done with it.

Seems like @b_limo is enjoying trying all these things out. Not sure he really wants to cut to the chase, assuming he knows what it is he is seeking prior to hearing it. Can’t blame him. New toys are fun! I’d play more myself if I had the time.

Got the Kinki EX-M1 in my system yesterday.  Friggin fed ex smashed the crap out of it.  Filed a claim, we’ll see what happens.  Unit is working properly, I believe. Ran hot today but its hot here and Im pushing my speakers pretty hard for 4 hours now...

both knobs on the front are loose / smashed inwards.  I can’t believe how fed dx treats our equipment.  Ludicrous.  
Sounds pretty special though.  The imaging, separation within the soundstage, image depth and width, black background, zero distortion, detail, pretty amazing.  The bass is stupid, the mids and voices just float eerily in space, and the highs are there but not offensive.

The Raven on TMR is the one I had. I bought it from them.  Great sounding amp but with the sub out issue and cosmetic issues, I didn’t want that to be my most expensive purchase ever, so I opted to buy a pristine Kinki and then have Fed Ex drag it behind the truck for 1500 miles

Sorry to hear of damage to unit but it appears to be phenomenal even before burn-in...
