Tuned less reference minded but retains all the technicalities. Less upper mid range quantity and a bit more lower mid range quantity. Stage is wider and treble is a bit more extended. Oh, moaarrr bass also.

Thanks for your impression

i wonder how it compares to storm in terms of sound

Very different in signature. Storm is less coloured. Raven is more bassy and treble tuning is different.

So basically they fixed Odin

Mids are defo not Odins. As is bass. Curious what people think about the rest.

Hopefully they didn't go too far with the treble.

No sibilance, don't worry.

I did not find any. And it hits my preference. But there is presence of lower and mid treble to which some people are quite sensitive. I did try it on few sources however and it was consistently good.

In a nutshell

Hopefully they didn't go too far with the treble.

Well there is presence in lower and mid treble. But the bass balances it out. So unless youre extremely sensitive to that region or your source has extra presence in that same region i dont see that being a problem. If you had no issues with Odyssey. Its unlikely to have problems with Raven.

I did try Earman Angel which is fairly neutral and has treble presence and i still had no issues. In fact to my surprise that synergy was mental.
That thing just scales with powerful source immensely. Which is kind of surprising as its not that hard to drive at all.

Nice summary there. Would you be able to provide a similar comparison to the Odyssey ?
I‘m wondering if it’s worth going from Odyssey to Raven.

Here’s what I assume is a launch (?) or limited edition of Raven, taken from ECT fb page.

 

[fejnomit]

Anyone know the regular North American launch date?

Hard to say. I personally prefer Raven to Odyssey for the treble transparency and extension alone, but there are a few other subtle differences elsewhere. I cant drop a deep dive yet but when I can, I will.

Its actually the audio visual show that's going to happen here in Hong Kong between 11 - 13th August (not October).

That’s more like it…

 

[KuroKitsu]

I just need Raven impressions to confirm that I did indeed made the right choice with a second Odin.

Aesthetic and design wise, it just isn't my cup of tea. I have been considering a second Wraith as well though

I've got my Odin dialed in finally. Sticking with the Stormbreaker since I like treble. The 1960 smoothed things off pleasantly, but I like sparkle. Azla Sedna tips, the black ones. And my AK2000T set to no tube, instead of my AK1000.

It's like a ballsier Zeus. I'm keeping the 1960 on that one, and use the Hybrid or full Tube to give it a bit more punch.

The Odin delivers plenty of bass without ONLY delivering bass. Try The Beatles Abbey Road Come Together is you want to hear bass in a rock track.
