Arcam A85 integrated receiver speaker match

My current speakers are the Dynaudio 52 se bookshelf.  Looking to upgrade. Being powered by the Arcam A85 receiver. My room is moderate size. Considered the Special 40, but from what I have been reading they are difficult to drive.  Would the Evoke 10 be a better match or the Kef r3 ?

I don't know where you been reading the S40's are hard to drive because that is ABSOLUTE CRAP!
 They are EXTREMELY easy to drive,6 ohm nominal,NEVER drop below 6 ohms & are impedance corrected so as to have almost linear impedance phase...Your 52SE(which I have owned)are WAYYY harder to drive,4ohm nominal,3.6ohm low & 2 HARD phase swings...KEF,even worse...
