Building through the mail???

Being in a small town I have no dealers I can audition products through, and travel for me is quite difficult with job, kids etc... So, after a couple months reading all I can here as well as other sources, I've decided I'll have to mail order everything and hope for the best. This is my first attempt at hi-fi so I'm almost positive that my ears will like it as I know no different.
I'm not going real big on the spending as I cannot afford the high dollar eqipment.
Here is what I think may go well together:
Roksan Kandy iii int. amp with matching cdp
Paradigm studio 60 v3's
A pair of Paradigm servo 15 subs, or Velodyne DD15s
I am hoping for a mild top end with the paradigms, and some spl in the room(the reason for 2 subs).
If you have any advice for me I'd be more than happy to here from you.

Thanks
Shawn

Just so you know, we were all there at one point in time.

My advice would be to forget the subs. Use that money to put toward one of the other components (the amp would be my choice). Either buy speakers that give you everything mid-fi (PSB Stratus Golds) or hi-fi in a monitor (Usher or Totem Model 1s).

Educate you ears to what hi-fi sounds like. As the years pass by, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade.
