Which speakers for Hegel H20?

I know that, ideally, you are supposed to match your amplifier to your speakers. Well, this time it's the other way around. I own a Hegel H20 amplifier. Dual mono, 200 Wpc into 8 Ohm, 350 Wpc into 4 Ohm. After selling my Tannoy Revolution XT8F speakers a few months ago, I am presently looking for a  good pair of speakers to match to my Hegel.  Budget: $7,000 or so. 
I am looking at Spendor D7, Proac D30, Dynaudio Contour 30 but I have no way of knowing whether they will work well with the Hegel.
Advice would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

The big Ushers, be20dmd's and earlier revels for sure. Most dealers will let you bring your own amp in if they know you're serious.

I have just recently paired a new Hegel H20 with B&W 702 Signatures (Transparent cabling), so exactly at this price point ($7,500). I have been thrilled.

Also heard the H390 integrated amp (same price as the H20, $6k) and the H20 sounds far more authoritative, as it should as a dedicated amplifier. Loving the pairing with the 702 Sigs. Feel like the supple grip of the Hegel is really well-suited to give the B&Ws plenty of drive but with firm control.
