to buy or not to buy acurus act3 200five combo?

Stumbled across this combo at a Klipsh dealer. Was wondering if anyone had a suggestion as to whether or not to buy this combo or not. Just recently sold a Chiro C-500 and pioneer elite sp99d combo. Will I be making an improvement with the Acurus or should I continue to look for abetter combo? The price on the acurus stuff is $2650 Canadian funds still brand new in the box. Speakers I use are a custom MTM design using Vifa drivers and LPG titanium dome tweeters. Will be using the system for both music and movies. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I HAVE BEEN USING THE ACT3 IN MY HOME THEATER ROOM WITH NO PROBLEMS . I HAVE ALSO BEEN USING A A100 IN MY BEDROOM SYSTEM . AS LONG AS YOUR SPEAKERS ARENT TO BRIGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD SYSTEM FOR MUSIC & MOVIES .

I wouldn't do acurus with vifa tweeter. Acurus definitely can get bright. Vifa tweeters are terribly accurate and putting bright sounds into them will kill your ears-please note that I do have vifa's in my Coinident speakers and love them as long as the amp isn't bright.

Contrary to some opinions, I would go for it. The A200 can sound slightly sibilant, but a couple of modifications will get rid of that. The ACT-3 bugs were sorted out as time passed. By the way, are the speakers homebrew?
