atemoya,
A number of folks have suggested you reduce your budget for the speakers and instead, get an integrated with cheaper speakers. I agree with them that the Pioneer Elite VSX-94TXH should be replaced with an integrated. If you can wait, building your system incrementally may be worth it and very likely more satisfying in the long run.
Consider buying the best speakers you can afford now, $2k - $3k, then save to buy an integrated. Depending on how much you want to spend on an integrated and HOW LONG it would take you to save for it is something you might consider. Furthermore, if you decide to buy Tekton speakers new, (did someone say there is a 12 week waiting period?), those 12 weeks are a wash anyway. During that waiting period, you could be saving for an integrated.
Let's say it takes you half a year (ie. 26 weeks) to save for an integrated. And lets assume you purchase Tekton's tomorrow but it will be 12 weeks before delivery. That means you would be running the Tektons on the Pioneer Elite for 14 weeks only (assuming there is little to no wait on the integrated). If that's the case, is the trade off worth it to run them for 14 weeks on the Pioneer, only to have a much better system afterward? Or go ahead and buy cheaper speakers and a cheaper integrated today?
Hope this helps to make the decision process a little easier for you.
