Help Needed: Is my system balanced?


I have just bought a new system, part of the equipment is used, and I am uncertain if I made the right decisions. My problem is to define ideal percentages to be spent in each component. My system is the following:

Arcam DIV A80 Integrated Amplifier ($1300)
Naim CD5i cd player ($1600)
B&W DM602 S3 Loudspeakers ($600)

Do you think these three equipments match? Are they compatible? Will I get the most from their potential? Should I have bought more expensive loudspeakers and a less expensive CD player?

Is there a simple, definite rule to determine which percentages of the total investment should go to each equipment? What does the literature on this subject tells us?

Upgrading the speakers would be the next step I would take. They will make a big difference in sound quality.
