Chat, A-S class D and Klipsch

I use QLN speakers with my Atma-Sphere MP3, S30, and Class D electronics, which IMO sound VERY musical and wonderful together. I would definitely put QLN on your shortlist.

I found it interesting that AI suggested speakers I would more associate with tube amps or low watt class A's than the D's 

well, AI is awesome

I have Atma-Sphere Class Ds (and the MP-3) and pair them with Zu Druid Vs. There's a pair on USAM right now for $3,200.
