What Integrated Amp for Reynaud Offrandes

I've decided to sell my Trentes in favor of the larger Offrandes. I'm planning to replace my VAC PHI 30/30 amp with a higher powered integrated with phono stage to drive these. Are there any Offrande owners out there who have found a synergistic match? The distributor recommends a hybrid or push pull integrated tube amp. I'm thinking maybe Vac Super Avatar or one of the Musical Fidelity integrateds.

Gary,
After you receive the NAF 845 Integrated, you can tweek with some tube rolling. I especially recommend the Tung-Sol/Chatham rectifier that we use in the demo unit here. Although the RCA rectifier is very good, the T-S is significantly more transparent and detailed.

btw, for others our demo 845 Integrated Special Edition is available with addtl tubes including the Tung-Sol - just contact us if interested.

Gary,
Yep, the amp is heavy! I have found improved sonics by using quality after market footers/isolation components. I'm just not a fan of rubber feet.

btw, since Audax is no longer making the Aergel drivers used by JMR and others, what drivers will be in the new JMR designs?

I've always loved monitors - ie my '78 Rogers LS3/5A I still have and the Offrandes!

I highly recommend the Symposium products - try the new couplers beyween the amp and Ultra.

You're really gonna love the NAF 845!

Our demo NAF 845 Integrated Spec Ed is available and all we ask is someone to post their comments to help spread the word.
