Bob,
I bought the FtTH in 2007, before following the Blue Circle path to Bob Neill. I first read his thoughts on the integrated's synergy with the Offrandes on his website, then experienced the FtTH with the Offrandes in Amherst. I even brought my speaker cables for the audition. I am referring to the FtTH and the Offrande Supremes, but from what I have heard the synergy repeats with the FtTH2 and the Offrande Supreme V2's. They sound like music together, regardless of how simplistic that statement appears. That quality was exactly what I had sought. Nothing clinical nor overblown. I found the FtTH prefered an efficient 8 ohm load like the Offrandes, it ran out of steam with my 4 ohm 86 dB Dynaudios. The FtTH loves the Offrandes and the finer qualities of the sound can be adjusted by rolling tubes. Even easier with the FtTH2 because it only needs one 6DJ8/6922/7308. That's my experience, but there are so many choices available with the Offrandes. Have fun.
