What speakers do you use for your AMPlified Wiims?

MoFi SourcePoint 8, crossed over to a Rythmik L12 at 40Hz, DIRAC Live corrected from 12.5-250Hz. Dead flatl (-0dB) from ~80Hz down beyond 10Hz in-room—I hear all the music, not just most of it.

For my desktop righ, I used to have Wiim Pro, connected to an SMSL M500 MKII DAC, to an SMSL A300 Amp powering QAcoustics 3030i.
The speakers, although bulky for a desktop rig, are chosen for its bass capabilities and its tweeter shortcomings was resolved by the ESS9038PRO DAC Chip.

Wifey gave ma a WiiM Amp Ultra for my birthday, and I decided to leverage its Subwoofer integration with an old Wharfedale Sub. It would have been great, except that the internal DAC can no longer cover for QA3030i's tweeter shortcomings. Unlike the external ESS9038PRO, Less detailed on the highs and no longer holographic. And the sub nullifies the pros of having a large bookshelf.

Having articulated my setup, can anyone share their speakers for their WiiMs, and help me with a good speaker pairing for WiiM Amp Ultra that already have a subwoofer? Ergo, emphasis now is for the mids and highs, and imaging. And perhaps one that is also good for near field listening.

In a secondary system I have bc a WiiM Amp pro going into Quad S2 speakers. I have a compact 8 inch sub woofer also. I am giving a grandson my old WiiM Amp with Cambridge Sx 50 speakers for his college dorm room but the speakers are new and I haven’t actually heard them yet.

What sort of tweeter shortcoming can a DAC fix? A lot amps have tone controls, and a lot of Wiim devices have both graphic and parametric equalizers...

Can you share which brand is the small rack you have the WiiMs into? Feels like the small ore from Topping, just curious.
