JM Reynaud Trente to GMA Callisto or Merlin TSMMe?

I've never heard the Callistos or TSM's, but I've been extremely happy with my upgrade from Trentes to Offrandes. I agree with Duanegoosen that moving up in the Reynaud line may make sense, although I've never had his experience of the Offrandes as being even remotely piercing. I'm driving mine with a VAC Avatar Super integrated amp. I find them to portray a great sense of presence, air, and timbral nuance, while still sounding pleasingly warm. I love them for jazz and chamber music, mostly what I listen to.

Someone had a pair of last generation Offrandes listed at a good price recently. I don't know if they're still available.

af,
i appreciate the fact that you are entitled to your opinion but please tell everyone here where you had a chance to audition the tsm mme?
yo2,

thank you,

I've never heard the Merlins or GMA's but do advise to listen to the JMR's.
After a lot of audio-nervosa I settled with the Offrande's and.., Jean Marie has introdused a new version, the Offrande Signature which is supposed to be - haven't listened to them yet - are faster then the former version without losing the specific Reynaud 'signature'.

Good luck with your decision..!

Yo2,
I have owned plenty of JMR's speakers and love them. But saying that the Offrande destroyed the Merlin VSMs? There must've been something seriously wrong in the system (synergy?). The VSMs are in EVERY respect better than the Offrandes. One would have to step up to the latest Concordes Sig. to play in the VSMs' league.
That said, the Trenté is an amazing speaker and actually better, in my opinion, than the Offrande (I've owned both).

Thanks everyone for your responses. I really do like the sound i'm getting with my Trentes, but a little more in the image/soundstage depth and dynamics departments would be very welcomed. With that said, I think I'm going to hold on to these speakers a little while longer and concentrate on room treatments first. The Trentes are are good enough for now :)
