What I've learned about this hobby is that the most important thing is is room/speaker interaction and proper placement. If you place speakers where they look best or are most convenient, the system won't sound much if any better than if you bought a big-box store system. If you get better results, it's purely luck IMO.
Obviously the components are important. Inthink we sometimes get too caught up in recommending gear and probably take set-up advice for granted.
You've been advised on and have chosen some good components. Research them a bit more and try to hear everything you can, within reason. Just make sure you set the stuff up right, otherwise you're not getting your money's worth. There's plenty of resources available for this, and we're always here too.
