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...

I believe we'll be alive and well and carrying on with our lives. In a few months or so we can look back at this period for retrospective assessment. An opportunity to compare predictions with subsequent outcome.

Mario,

I wish you and your country (I have very fond memories of my travels to Italy) the best and appreciate your sincere respect for our president. He and his excellent task force are working hard and doing their very best for  American citizens. The early travel ban on China was bold and brilliant (not racist, how stupid a charge). I wish Italy had done the same.  +2 millercarbon.
