I humbly suggest that it is difficult to start a great journey with the entire goal in mind. Better to start with the first step: How do I afford the first two 8k's? IMHO that gives you the most bang for the buck and the rest is optional when and if the opportunity comes.

By the way one of my motivators for the 8k's was the elimination of the sub. Bob really is right that the sub belongs in the speaker itself. Think of all the money you will save by selling the sub.
