Very nice. Another to add to the watch list.

I know you mentioned bookshelf/monitor speakers, but I have a C22/MC275 setup utilizing Legacy Signature SE speakers. My room dimensions are approximately the same as yours and I truly could not be happier. While freestanding, the Signature SE's have a pretty reasonable physical footprint. The cabinets have a sealed design and are forgiving in terms of placement.

Keep in mind that 2 x 75 watt is not powerful enough to have high-end speakers like b & w

2 * 75 watt is more than sufficient even with the most demanding speakers in a small room. I can’t take my existing B&W’s past 50 on the preamp without causing the house/ceiling/walls to shake and for the sound to be uncomfortably high.
Larger speakers in this room are ridiculous. I’ve tried

What is an MC575?
Also, the MC75 is plenty of amp and a great match for many of the finest high-end speakers. Just not B&W and other notably difficult to drive models that need more power.

There are many many “high end” speakers that are very efficient. But one wouldn’t need super efficient speakers with 75watts a side. The MC 75’s can drive pretty much any set of speakers. Certainly the vast majority of speakers. And as far as I can tell all that have been listed here.

Now that I've got some 'run time' on my new Canton Reference 9Ks, if you wish to stay with monitors I highly recommend them. I'm a 'monitor guy' (every time I go with floor-standers I always go back to monitors) and these are the best I've had in any of my systems. Think they would work wonderfully with your MC75s.

I ended up striking a local deal for a pair of Dynaudio Confidence C1 Platinum's and picked them up today. I was a little concerned with the low sensitivity so I called Dynaudio in Europe. They simply said "try them, you won't be disappointed". Their newer speakers are easier to drive.
Straight off the bat the mid's are amazing and the bass is tighter. With the other speakers I'd sometimes get "bass traps" in the corner of the room causing vibrations. Not with these. Extremely pleased. No need for concern with speakers with such low sensitivity with a 75 watt amp in a room of this size.
