What the World Is Saying
This rig included Legacy's new Valor floor-stander, a pair of Raven Shaman Mk. 2 monoblocks and Legacy's Wavelet processor/preamp running the new Stereo Unfold Technology software. Elvis was in the building.

The Osprey looks as good as it sounds. Because of tube sonics, user versatility, attractive appearance and USA build, EAN is giving it a Stellar Sound Award.

The Nighthawk MK2 is musical, natural sounding, easy to operate, and has a major 'coolness factor' with its array of glowing tubes. The Nighthawk MK2 will give your music wings!

The Raven Audio Silhouette Reference monoblocks snapped me out of my solid state period and reinforced why I always loved the sound of good tube amplifiers.
— Mark Pearson, Positive Feedback
Admirable top-to-bottom balance, a non-fatiguing treble and nice handling of transients. Would need to pay a lot more for small degrees of improvement.

The sound just floats around me — the vocals are as pure as pure can be, uber realistic and haunting. This sound is BEAUTIFUL and does indeed beat my $10,000 McIntosh MA-8000. I have never heard any better up to $6,500.

The realistically bold-sounding Raven Spirit Mk2 Monoblock has earned its place among the very best. Given that the Spirit Mono, even at $13,990/pair, is among the very better values in this heady field, this Raven deserves more than a second look and listen.

The Cirrus provided what great tube-based preamplifiers provide — more 'flesh on the bones,' giving individual players a lifelike palpability, along with a more realistic tonality and color than any solid-state preamplifier can provide.

Comparing the Nighthawk MK2 to the Blackhawk Limited Edition is a close task — both excellent amplifiers, almost like two slightly different flavours cut from the same cake, one just ends up with a little more icing.
— Matej Isak, Mono & Stereo
All Raven gear shares something in common — the ability to reproduce music in such a way that it never fails to put a smile on your face and let you relax as the music washes over you. There is something intrinsically 'right' about the sound of Raven gear.
