JC1s are a fine option. I can speak to another pairing when you grow into the 1.7s.
This amp, the EAR 868 and Mag 1.7s are indeed a beautiful thing to hear.
Magnepan LRS with JC 1s
I'm using JC 1 monoblocks to drive my KEF LS50s. I'd like to try Magnepan LRS. Reviews seem to suggest it might be a good match. Is that true? I augment the LS50s with a pair of KEF KC62 subs, and would use those with the LRS as well.
