I wish that I or anyone else for that matter could give you decent advice about which speaker for Class D, but it is not possible. I use Bel Canto Ice-based amps for my VSA VR-4JR speakers and love them. But....it may be the tubed Modwright pre-amp, or the solid copper cables, or the PS Audio DAC, or the signal cables ICs, or... So, the synergy between all these electrical components is the key. Many listeners pair the Class D and solid state amps with tubed pre-amps and like them. Also, there is a lot of variation in the design of Class D and so the advice that would be most helpful is from those who already run the Nova and S300. Good luck!
Some users of the Ohm Acoustics Walsh series speakers have reported great results with Class D amplification. See the Ohm threads on this forum for more comments.
I have used and heard a number of speakers (Thiel, B&W, Magnepan) on some what "cheap" class-D amps. All the speakers sounded really good compaired to the class AB amps I have also heard them on.

All this is very general though. I feel that class-D is here to stay and is getting better everyday. But a good amp is a good amp no matter what class it is. I would not worry about it too much (if you have enough power) and just get the speakers you like.
