Standmount speakers with Line Magnetic 518 SET amp?


Hi all, 

I am curious about what standmount speakers folks would pair with the Line Magnetic 518 amp?  Room is small and I don't play music especially loud.

Thanks for any ideas!

I designed my speakers (Verdant Audio) with a different brand 845 (Art Audio Quartet).  Literally what final voicing was done with.  They are intended to take full advantage of the massive soundstage and extraordinary detail you get from an 845z. 
I would prefer you had a little more power (25-30w) but my Nightshade product is my soundstage and imaging king.  Decent sensitivity at 85dB.  A hair warm with a massive soundstage.  
My Blackthorn will be dead neutral with your amp and will deliver maximum detail.  A nice soundstage but this is about hearing every detail and nuance.   SPL is 84dB.  
In both cases, you want a touch more power if you are going to turn it up to 11 but if you don’t do that, they are just about perfect for an 845.
