Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues
@johnnotkathi, I couldn't find the specs on your C735, but if it's got a little power the Canton Ergo 900dc @elliottbnewcombjr recommended should be awesome speakers. I have the 1002dc and love them in a room about your size. When I first got them...

@rvpiano I am in the same situation, being 71 and not having cared for my most valuable material posession very well in my youth (my body). My great hope is that one of my kids or son-in-laws or any realtive will want them, as well as my system....

Did I do a good thing or not?
