Integrated amp choice for JMR Offrande Supreme V2

Hello A'goners-

This is a longshot, but I'd like to know if anyone has experienced especially good synergy (magic) with a particular integrated amp driving the JMR Offrande Supreme V2.

The Offrande sensitivity is rated at 91db, at 8ohms, with a minimum of 6ohms. I'm currently driving them with my Audio Research VSI60 KT-120-based tube integrated, and the match is good, maybe not spectacular - just wondering if I'm missing out on anything.

Bob Neill of Amherst Audio (great guy), the distributor of JMR speakers recommends the Blue Circle FtTH hybrid integrated for it's combination of sweetness and clout. I don't live in the vicinity of any Blue Circle dealers, though, so I can't try before I buy. Recommendations from other dealers include the Lavardin IT, LFD NCSE II, the Ayon tube integrateds, the Mac MA2275, and the Audiomat integrateds.

Any experience shared would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - Bob R

No, I have not heard it but your speakers specifications would lead me to believe it would be an excellent match and sound very good. Reno Hi-Fi has a 15 day trial period you just pay shipping to and fro if you decide to send it back and there is a used one on their web-site as I write this. I have No affiliation with Pass or Reno Hi-Fi.

Too late I suppose, but I have the original Supreme connected to the Euphya Alliance 280 and it's a great match.

Xpekt - would you elaborate regarding the Euphya Alliance 280 and the Offrandes?

I recently acquired a pair of JMR OSV2s and have it paired with an Audiomat Arpege which coincidentally was the same integrated that the previous owner of the speakers used as well. While I have no basis for comparing the Arpege to the FtTH, it drives them beautifully. I've also see Audiomat amps in some of JMR's marketing materials, so it's a combo that JC Reynaud uses as well. Would love to try some Blue Circle products with these speakers though, they are mind blowingly good.

I have had a great time for the last year and a half listening to the O's driven by the Zen Mystery Amp from Decware (40 tube watts of liquid honesty).
