Raven Audio Corvus Reference Monitors
I have a set of Corvus Reference Towers and they are IMO the single best piece of audio equipment I have ever owned. When I purchased mine I owned a pair of REL subs and planned on pairing them with the monitors, but when I struggled with finding ... 
Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
I have a Blackhawk MK3 driving the 91db Raven Audio Corvus Tower speakers and they are a match made in heaven. Before the Corvus I had a set of Salk SS8’s rated at 86db and the BH did just as well with them. I highly recommend the company and thei...

Happy camper indeed!My brother had a set of Tekton Enzos and he really liked them. With the Moabs being 98db the Blackhawk would be perfect. The speakers I was using when I first got the BH were 86dB and it had no problem with them at all. I have ... 
Raven Audio Corvus Tower System speakers - An owners perspective
I agree about the Blackhawk, though that doesn’t lessen the value and brilliance of the Corvus, it just brings out the best in it. It was my love for the Blackhawk sent me down the path towards ultimately pairing it up with the Corvus,
