Best Speakers with a DNA-1?

I don't want to hijack the contemporaneous discussion of "Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair" on another thread (question by @spendmoney), but I'm curious to know if any of the answers would have been different if the amp were a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe instead of the Denon 4311-ci.  I'm using this amp to power a pair of Polk LSIM 707's now, and am contemplating my next move.  If any of the responders to that post would care to weigh in here, I'd appreciate it.

I used that amp with Vandersteen 3A Sigs and a CJ preamp.  It was magical.

There was a reason CJ purchased McCormick back in the day.  I too owned a CJ pre as well as a passive pre.  Both sounded awesome with it.  Just well designed gear.  

So often we see dealers who carry Vandersteen also carry the same amps as the other dealers.  Same goes with Focal (they usually carry most of the Audio Plus Services line of gear) or B&W or .......

I always try to find out what gear companies use to voice their own gear. Helps me when auditioning products.
