speakers to mate with wadia powerdac151

thinking about putting together a second system around a wadia powerdac 151...i've read that wadia was demoing this with the dynaudio excite 12 to great effect. Has anyone mated it with the focus 110, focus 140, or special 25? the excite 12 is not exactly an easy to drive speaker, so if handled that I'm curious if it can handle the bigger dynaudios...

I'm pretty sure the Focuses are harder to drive than the Xcites. I haven't used or heard the Power DAC, so no clue as to how it handles things. Seems like a great piece though.

The Focus 140s are a bit of a tough load for lower powered integrateds. The Naim Nait 5i could have used some help when I heard it driving them. The Nait is a pretty strong amp for 50 watts, so it makes me think the Power DAC will struggle a bit more.
