Welcome to the sweet spot, Fink24.
I couldn't agree more with JLM's comments. With a room (speaker) based setup, you're not just listening to the gear, you're listening to the room. I wouldn't advise against a speaker-based system per se, just have your priorities straight, i.e. don't spend big bucks on cabling and 'tweaks' while disregarding significant acoustics or placement issues, which a glance through the galleries shows happens a lot more often than you'd think. Things like don't put a 15" sub in a small room or one without stiff walls. (You'll get a 'boom room'). (In that situation, a pair of mini monitors with limited bass extension may actually give more satisfactory sound than big floorstanders with lots of deep bass.) Plenty of good know-how around here on all these topics.
