Do you use the workshop while listening? Are you standing up, walking around and generally not sitting still in an optimal listening position? If so, that would be a major consideration. I’d be looking for something like a used pair of Shahinians (Larcs, Compass, Arcs maybe) or Neat Iota’s or maybe something optimised for corner siting (horns?)
I would agree with the Neat suggestions so far.
They do seem to work well with Naim, but have a distinctive type of sound (in my opinion, more fun than pin point accuracy), and there seems to be a good selection on the auction site.
It may not be possible pre-loved, but try to hear them in your space, with your kit as this makes a huge difference.
If you ‘buy well’ you may be able to turn them round without too much cost if they don’t work out.
Good luck

My ~45 year old DM4s are still going strong on my Nova. Other speakers have come and gone. I was thinking only last night how good they still sound.

How personal taste differs! I recall demoing the Arcs many years ago and was initially taken in with their clarity/insight and flow. But, for me, my tastes, etc. etc. they were too slow. I didn’t realise it at first but over the course of listening I became disengaged and lost interest after that.
Horses for courses.
For me it was in 2005, so long time ago. With a 202/200 and cdx2, I liked them.
