Considering your electronics, you should audition the Quatros, or 5A's. Both of these speakers can be tweeked to match your room - easily done by the dealer setup.

Did you audition the amp with anything? The only other possibilities are gift (nice one!) or it fell of the back of a truck!

I have a C2300 and MC275 and the combo sounded great with my Quad 2805. But when I got Martin Logan Spires, which can dip to below 2 Ohm, the MC275 could no longer keep up and sounded rolled off in the treble and the bass was loose. A MC402 now powers the Spires.
