One reason I chose the MF a3.2 amplifier was for it's versatility. It has "tube-like" smoothness and full sound but with the detail and control of SS. This means that it can match with either thin, detailed speakers or warmer speakers. It's not too bright, either.
MF does have a bit of a "house sound" so that the amps sound similar. You can go to dealers that sell MF and listen to what speakers they are using. Having an integrated is an advantage also because you can easily take it to a friend's house or to a dealer.
For speakers, I've liked the Meadowlark, Totem for acoustic/vocals and KEF, Paradigm for rock. I like Dynaudio also but the reputation is that they like a lot of power. B+W are too forward/bright for me. Go out and listen.
