It's amazing due, in part, to the strings that are on it. That should be your baseline and what you come back to if stuck between strings. My recommendation is to buy 5 or 6 sets of strings similar to your "amazing" strings and find what you like. I find very little correlation between what most of us rabble like and what other's would like. The usual suspects are; Martin (which you have), D'Addario, John Pearse, Elixir, Curt Mangan, Gibson. Other's have less popular string brands they like but these will get you started and experimenting for a while.
Once I find a "type" of string that I feel sounds great on a new guitar, I might dabble around that type (80/20, PB, Nickel...) on that guitar. Strings have as much influence on how you like the tone of a guitar as your playing style so spend the time and enjoy keeping notes on how you like each string brand and type.
