for your room size - a standmount speaker will be fine.

Maybe a

Dali Ikon 2
PSB - if you can get hold of the higher Synchrony 1B model
Epos - Elan range

Thanks mpw. Hope the 20 w NAD would be able to drive Dali MK2 sensibility at low volumes as well.

I've been using NAD 3020s for a long time now, from my experience, I have noticed that they work with almost all types of speakers. I have even had them drive huge B&W DM3000 towers and they worked splendidly. If I were you, I'd focus on speakers more in line with the dimensions and layout of my room. Also I'd focus a bit on my personal choice, some like dull sounding speakers that need to be driven well, while persons like me like bright speakers that sound "in-your-face". Best bet is to take your amp to the store and listen to a few speaker types before deciding.

You may have noted from my signature, I use a pair of humble BPL 700T speakers with my 3020 and it sounds very good to my ears. Here onsite however, I use headphones.

Thanks reubensm for your advice. Will surely listen to few of them with my NAD before I buy.
