No, the RAAL upgrade was done by me. Yes, the RAAL ribbon tweeters are That much better. The Pro sound guys Love them.

A lot of high end speaker company's now use the RAAL ribbon tweeters as OEM .

DaveM · 31st July 2010, 11:50 PM

I am aware of the OEM use, I am also aware that Ravens are no longer in production. I have been happily living with a pair for several years now. I guess there is always something newer and better out there. The part I really lusted after was that beautiful granite face. Certainly a cost no object approach.

Papa - did Alex bring you some ?

Thanks for those insights!

It would be great if good speakers were available with two options... with or without a matching amplifiers built in. Even better if there was a standard defined for a place in speaker enclosures for amplifiers, which was designed-in from the start, and known not to influence the sound, the appearance, or other problems (like wood warping from the heat). It would probably still require amplifiers to be officially approved as suitable, but that could generate a new market for manufacturers and dealers (it sounds like they have to be on-side from the start), and might release the floodgates for some really good sound where some of the annoying variables are removed!

No way you're going to put all those speaker cable manufacturers out of business!

What would be cool if the amp was modular (at least the front end) like BA series and you could swap front end cards (like a PCI card in your computer) to taylor the sound to your taste.

Like Mr. Gerald says routinely; "You think those are original thoughts? The trick is to pull it off and make it a commercial success..."
