What standmount speakers for a NAP160?

[admin_exported]

It's not looking highly likely that my study set-up will be:

iMac -> Arcam rDAC -> NAC 32.5/SNAPS -> NAP160

My desk is normal height so I am going to need stands to lift a pair of speakers slightly higher than usual. (I'm thinking Atacama 70cm or 90cm) but I have no idea what to put on the top of them.

As always, budget is an issue, I was thinking of MS902i, but reports of their top-end tendency puts me off matching them with the NAP160. Mission 782s we also a little harsh so I am put off something like the 780s (782s sound great with Nait 5i though)

Any thoughts on what would be a good match?

At the risk of talking to myself, we have a pair of B&W 685s in a holiday flat we own - perhaps I should repatriate these and replace with something a little less high end.

Thoughts?
