Speaker recommendations for Simaudio Moon 700i V2

Looking for speakers for a Simaudio Moon 700i integrated amp.
What speakers have people liked with this amp?
I know there are a lot of factors -  room, what you listen to etc; but was interested if anyone has this amp and what speakers they matched with it. The retailer I purchased it from loves Dynaudio with Moon.
My listening room is 5m x 5.8m (29sqm)/16ft x 19ft - so not huge. 
Currently have Image 414’s (NZ made version).
Thanks!

I’ve used the 700i with my Sopra No2 for the last few years. Previously I had B&W and Focal 1028be2 speakers. In my opinion the 700i sounds the best with the Focal sound. It’s a great amp and sounds great on the Sopra series. I use Balanced Discovery Essence Cables into the amp, and Discovery Essential Speaker cables. With decent affordable power cords from Synergistic Research the combination sounds really nice.

I went for the Focal Kanta 2, with the 700i amp. To me it sounds amazing. The dealer who brought the demo speakers over,  and who sells mainly Naim gear, said the Moon had fantastic detail.
The Kanatas worked the best in my room (compared to the Totems), just sounded better and were at a good discount.
I did consider the Sopra’s but didn’t want to stretch the budget right now.

I’ve never heard the Kanta speakers. If you like to experiment with cables (I don’t) let me know what matches the Focal + 700i sound. I’ve had these Discovery Cables for years and never tried anything else. I’m using modestly priced SR Python Power Cables.
