Help - Opinions - Amp for Sonas Faber Olympica III Speakers

Haven't been here for a long time.
There are so many choices for amps. Thinking of going with a Nad M22 V2. Speakers are in a room 23x20 with 22 foot vaulted ceiling. One side is partially open to adjoining big room. 
I have looked at a lot of amps. Decided to go with lots of power and low ohm stable.
Thoughts?

Yikes.
I would have gone Simaudio the III matched perfect with my 340ix.

I'm sure Moon is good stuff and I'm glad you're happy with it .....but,
The 340 is less powerful, doesn't tell you if it will handle low impedance loads. 
Spec wise the Halo JC5 is better IMO.
