@milpai - I’ve demoed some proac speakers. My sense is they don’t have enough treble energy to compensate for the dark nature of that amp. My two cents. 
 

 

Maybe try to listen British speaker, they tend to be very nice on top end .

Harbeth , Graham, Stirling 

I have a similar room size and listen to rock, jazz, classic and pop. The Harbeth 30.2 to an excellent job if you like the English monitor sound . They have been a recommended speaker by stereophile for many years and one of the best stand mount in this price point . Easy to listen , accurate reproduction of voice and instruments and very versatile. The bass is bang on but not as deep as floor standers. Your integrated would drive them easily . Good luck 

Have you guys listened to the Gryphon Diablo 120 amp in your own system?

It's seriously dark on the top end and really isn't a match with a speaker unless the speaker is a little hot on the treble. My QLN Prestige 3 speakers are super balanced, but didn't sound good with the Gryphon Diablo 120. 

Once paired with the right set of speakers, it's pretty much an end-game solid state amp for me. It sounds really good and has a bit of a tube amp signature.
