Used Epos M5 or M5i
Two that I would definitely check out for your room and the Naim would be the B&W 683S2 and the Monitor Audio Silver 8. Good luck in your search.
Naim Nait 5i-2 + Harbeth P3esr -> amazing! I love that combination.
Naim sounds good with a lot of brands. I've heard them with Dynaudio and enjoyed it. I was really impressed by one of the Nait's driving a set of Totem, they were bi-wired. Not the largest Naim system I've heard but with an analog front end I really liked what I heard.
As mentioned though, price range, listen habits and musical tastes would help narrow your field.
I have a pair of Neat Acoustics "Motive SX2s" that are really good for the money and are voiced using Naim amplifiers. I'm using an Arcam integrated and it's a really good match. Got to believe the Naim would be even better.
What is your budget?
$1500 - 2000 tops.

A pair of Harbeth P3ESR Rosewood with Skylan stands are on AudiogoN for $2000. Grab it!
A used pair of mmDe Capo from Reference 3A would be my #1 choice.
Why?
Every review of the deCapo has been very complimentary. Doesnt require a lot of power. I have the Grand Veena (older model-I'm not a metal tweeter fan)and love them. By all accounts the deCapos work equally well with ss or tubes. A used pair can usually be bought for about $1500.
Nice! I'm a LS3/5A fan so you know where I'm comin' from !
I haven't heard these with Naim but you might want to check out the KEF LS-50's at $1500.00. Small but impressive. If you like KEF's sound what is cool something a small as the LS50 has similar voicing as a larger Blade. They demonstrated this at show and my friend has Ref 3's driven by all Cary, then he hooked up a set of LS50's to show me how good they sound with the system, that they did, but I was impressed by how the mids and highs were so close in timbre, naturally the Ref tower had a fuller sound and played deeper but family resemblance was closer than with any other brand comparisons I've heard.
The Spendor 3/5R2 with a nice pair of stands will get your toes tappin' for under 2 grand. I had the 3/5's for years and in a small room you just can't beat them!
Shall we recommend $129 Pioneers from Best Buy or $50,000 Magico's?

Speakers have more effect on overall sound than amp - you may be going at this backwards.

speakers vary more in their sound than amps - pick a speaker that sounds right first
I am not the OP of this post. Why don't you tell him? All I asked is what is his budget?!
