Yes the RAV-1 is almost finished a update will come very soon.
These will be released at RMAF.

So far very positive comments from Danny
These new RAV1 use our RA104.5 ribbon tweeter with the new XBL^2  M-130X driver from GR.
Matching XBL^2 motor with the popula M-130 and a blend with our ribbon will bring out the best of a monitor this size.







Quote from Danny of GR Research
"They sound killer good. The vocal range is exceptionally clean. Imaging is excellent as is layering of the sound stage. This is one of the best sounding small stand mounted speakers that I have heard."

Here are some measured responses.






"You gotta love that fast and clean decay rate. It has really low distortion too. That woofer is really clean in the vocal region."

When will the MTM RAV-3 be available?

[RAW]

Well not for a long time if at all.
The last I was informed only the 8ohm driver was being made so there will be no RAV3 or RAV3S only a RAV2

[RAW]

Well the RAV-1 will be coming as soon as we can get the new crossover done Embarassed
Why well the XBL^2 motor for the M-130 is done but sources for the motor are not final and this will make the delivery of the XBL^2  M-130 8 ohm driver not till January or February Embarassed

Then add that XBL^2 motors will only be done in 8ohm this make the only speaker of the AV series that can be offered with the XBL^2 motor a possibility is the RAV-1 due to the 8ohm driver.
The RAV-3S will need 16ohm drivers which are not going to be made for now just the 8ohm drivers.

So BIG CHANGE in plans.
The RAV series will come  out but all will use the standard M-130 drivers (NON XBL^ 2) this will also make the kits more cost effective as well.
However the RAV-1 will be offered with the XBL^2 motors this model will be called the RAV-1X.(when the XBL^2 drivers arrive see time frame above)

This is the design that was at RMAF in our room and as we only have a single pair of them this pair is not for sale any longer till the inventory arrives with XBL^2 motors.

I will have the RAV-1 design finished in the next week and ready at that time.
