Well Airtime,what bookshelf speakers do you think I should try next in that system?I have some Lancer 44's but I have a feeling they will want something not quite so modern like my Yamaha CR 620 or older?Anyway for now,this will do just fine?Anyone else wanna chime in?

I owned Lancer 77's for quite a while before I gave them to my brother=in-law, who still owns and loves them. They work fine with a tube or transistor amp and are very efficient and easy to drive. The Yamaha should work fine with the 44's.I sold Infinity in the 80's. If you like the Polycell tweeter, you will love infinities with the EMIT. The EMIT walks all over the Polycell. Just pick the model that is the right size for you. They have everything from small bookshelf to floor-standers. Of course the Bigger the speaker the better the base. The higher models with EMIM, sound the best, but the small bookshelf speakers do sound good.

Thank's crazy Dave!Will be looking into more speakers made by Infinity as they do seem to mate well with the Yamaha!
If you're into DIYing something consider this. I'm using a pair of Zaph Audio SR-71's. One HECK of a good speaker. You can find the kit at madisound.
I use mine with a subwoofer. I know us vintage guys recoil from such talk. But a good monitor/sub setup really, and I mean REALLY is hard to match.
I use this setup with both a Sherwood S-5000 tube amp and a Dynaco VTA ST-70. And now I wouldn't give them up for any speaker.
I also use a Monitor Audio RX-2. It uses a 8" woofer and really does go down to 45Hz as advertised. Unlike most speakers that "claim" to do that. However, I did have to rework the crossover a little to make them sound good.
But for your type of music I would stick with a very natural sounding speaker, ie a paper cone woofer. Like the SR-71. Or if you have the room consider Madisounds A-25 kit. Also a winner.

Going to give my Lancer 44 a try as Crazy Dave suggested!Can't really go much bigger as it is a rather tiny bedroom & I have a Queen size Sleep Number bed,that is not going anywhere! I could not sleep without it due to a very bad back!I know when I tried them on my Superscope A 225 Amp it sounded,not bad ,but they did want more power!Again thank's for all the advice!
