Take a look at the Spendor A line. Years ago I owned the S8E floorstander and it was outstanding!

I own the McIntosh MAC6700 integrated amp and absolutely love it!My comment about the dealer was that they normally carry all 4 models that I'm interested in but did not have in-store the exact models I wanted to audition, except for the ProAc speakers.
The system is in a typical North American living room with a small coffee table between me and my system/speakers. There's a window behind the listening position but I've covered it with a really thick curtain.
I love deep, well-controlled bass and although I love the Sonus Faber sound & speaker finishes, they don't seem to go very deep. However, I haven't auditioned the Venere S yet.
The ProAc Response D30R did go very deep and the bass was indeed very well controlled, in a listening room roughly the same size as my living room.

If you love the deep bass sound then again I would recommend a more modest sized cabinet speaker and sub. You really want your main speaker to get down to around 45hz CLEANLY!!!! then have the sub do the heavy lifting.
The ProAc's are, for a stupider way to say it, the smallest of the bunch and would most likely be the better fit.
Also I really like the ribbon tweeter / McIntosh match. they go well together. And since off axis does not seem to be your problem then they are "GREAT".
How does the ProAc sound - natural wise. Again bring in your own amp for the final choice. Also be critical of the upper midrange. that is were most of your really good music detail comes from and not that tweeter.
