Has anyone here had direct listening experiences with these reference models from Raven Audio or
any others in their Elite or Avian line? I'm considering these models and have heard only great things
from those who have heard them and in some cases written about them at various shows.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
 
I heard Raven Audio amps at the Lone Star Audio Fest last year, in a few rooms.

Very fast, very clean sounding, in the systems I heard them in. They didn't sound "tubey" at all.
 
I have owned the Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 amp for over a year. First off the owner, Dave Thomson is an outstanding individual and is always willing to spend whatever time it takes to explain his products. I have the Raven in my great room and whenever anyone comes over they go right to the amp and ask what it is. It is definitely a talking piece. Mine is around 68WPC. I use the KT150 tubes for power. He has some of the best and rarest tubes available. It powers Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers through a Lumin A1 transport and EMM Lab Dac 2x V2. The sound is large and sensational. I read a lot about all of the SS amps but I would not trade mine for any. Dave is also a Legacy Speaker dealer. He is at many of the major shows with Legacy. Raven is definitely an under the radar company. People don't know what they are missing.
