Perfect speakers for audio Research Classic 30

Hello!
I really hope that you all would be fine in this tragic situation, at least in Italy.
I fortunately live in Venice which hasn't been hit so much by coronavirus.
Anyway I've relatives and friends in a lot of northenr Italy cities and every day it is a war bulletin.
So I'm a bit upset to talk so lightly about our futile passion...
Anyway...
I've recently bought a really perfect Classic 30 power amp, ad it's lovely but I think that it is a bit tense in properly driving my Proac D30R, I can perceive its very good qualities but finally it lacks in bass control and in definition.
It's very strange to say (?) but it works a lot better and apparently more easilly with no preamp, I mean with my PS Audio Direct Stream dac directly connected.
What are your suggestions for the ideal partners for the Classic 30?
I've no prejudice towards bookshelf, monitors, floorstanding and so on but I suspect that an easy load, good sensibility, mid sized bookshelf speakers could make perfectly the job.
Please consider that I live in Italy so please don't suggest exotic, local, not exported speakers, thank you very much.
Looking forward for your suggestions...

First, very sorry on what is happening in Italy and prayers for you and your Country. Stay safe.

Are Klipsch Heresy or above models such as Forte easily available for you? They are an easy load. I have never listened to Triangle speakers but recall they are easy to drive and being a French company I would guess widely available in Europe.

Too bad your ProAcs aren’t working, but maybe something in the Studio Series would be a better match with your Classic 30. Been a long time since I’ve looked into ProAcs but I once owned a pair of the Studio floor-standers and recall they were easy to drive with small tube amps over the Response Series. I owned a ARC VT60 at the time and the Response Series didn’t work too well on that amp either.

Best of luck and take care.
