Floor Standing Speakers That Would Sound Good With the NAD Integrated Amplifier.

Looking for the floor standing speakers that would sound good with the NAD Integrated amplifiers.
I was thinking to go with the Monitor Audio Silver 8 but I had mixed opinion about MA since I had Silver 2
and highs were like rolled off or is that because of the 2 way design. My budget is $3000.00. The room is
12' x 17' x 8'. They will be placed along the long wall and maximum 18" from the rear wall.
Or for that size of the room I should go with the stand mount speakers.
Thank you in advance on your opinions.

My personal experience is that I have an Nad C-388 integrated amp and I'm using a pair of Qacoustics Concept 40 floorstanding speakers and the combination is great. Great detail, tight bass and they are only $999 for the pair. Qacoustics put out some great sounding speakers for a very reasonable price. The build quality and gelcore technology they use makes for a distortion and vibration free speaker. You can't beat British sound, imo

I had a NAD  C356BEE and C272 power amp that was bi-amping a pair of PSB T6 towers- new model equivalent would be PSB X2T.  
Deep and impactful bass- the bass response on those PSB speakers is incredible and your amp will deliver the goods.  Midrange was excellent- a little forward but excellent with vocals and jazz.  The upper frequencies were again- quite excellent.  PSB tunes their titanium tweeters to sound incredibly detailed and yet natural.  No subwoofer required.

The latest Monitor Audio Silver 7 300 or 500 are spectacular values and a good match for both your amp and room size. The dual 8" 500s go a bit lower and louder than the otherwise identical dual 6" 300s, but the 300s work better closer to rear walls. Both have dual tunable ports that are a big help in tuning below 200 hz when rear walls are a consideration. In your room, I might favor the 500s on the 17' long wall, the 300s on the 12' wall. Either way, you have to double the spend to even get a chance at better sound from most other brands. I bought the 300s because of space and to get a bigger soundstage than my LS-50s and am extremely pleased
