Perfect speakers for audio Research Classic 30


Hello!
I really hope that you all would be fine in this tragic situation, at least in Italy.
I fortunately live in Venice which hasn't been hit so much by coronavirus.
Anyway I've relatives and friends in a lot of northenr Italy cities and every day it is a war bulletin.
So I'm a bit upset to talk so lightly about our futile passion...
Anyway...
I've recently bought a really perfect Classic 30 power amp, ad it's lovely but I think that it is a bit tense in properly driving my Proac D30R, I can perceive its very good qualities but finally it lacks in bass control and in definition.
It's very strange to say (?) but it works a lot better and apparently more easilly with no preamp, I mean with my PS Audio Direct Stream dac directly connected.
What are your suggestions for the ideal partners for the Classic 30?
I've no prejudice towards bookshelf, monitors, floorstanding and so on but I suspect that an easy load, good sensibility, mid sized bookshelf speakers could make perfectly the job.
Please consider that I live in Italy so please don't suggest exotic, local, not exported speakers, thank you very much.
Looking forward for your suggestions...

“Best president ever”. Tell that to the family’s that have lost loved ones due to his ineptness.  Remember, the virus is a “Democrat hoax” so all you trump worshipers have nothing to worry about.

@stereo5 ,
No point in trying to convince people who drank the Kool-Aid that they made a poor choice.
@OP,
I would PM John Rutan (Audioconnection). He sells ProAc's and would have good information regarding what they require power wise.

@gdnrbob,

You are right, its impossible to get through to his sheep. Like I said, God forbid their loved ones die from this, but if they do, its on don the con, no one else.    Dweller, your name calling (pretty boy) shows your lack of maturity and empathy.


IMO, this isn't a forum to discuss politics.

So, to the OP, firstly glad to hear that your area of the country is less impacted. 

As to the speakers to audition with your very nice ARC Classic 30 ( I like this amp a lot, as I used to own a D70Mk2 and it has some similarities),
you have a very good local company to go with...Sonus Faber. One of their stand mount speakers would work well...if funds allow...the choice new would be their new Electa Amator 3 or if budget dependent, the new Minima Amator 2...both would sound excellent with your amp.
Might need to add subs, dependent on your room and musical taste, but that could be done later. ( although I suspect you would be very pleased without subs with these two candidates).
