Help with a system for a guy into electronic music

Hey guys, I've been reading some different threads on here, and it's been really helpful, but I just wanted to get a little advice. I'm a big electronic music guy, love trance, progressive house, progressive breaks, cinematic breaks, some dub. I've been doing some research, testing things out and I've come up with this package:

1. Dynaudio Focus 160
2. Simaudio Moon 340i w/DAC, XLR & Phono
3. 2 x JL Audio f113's.

The system will be going in my living room, up against a drywall. The ceilings are 10ft, and concrete. The dimensions of the room are 18x21. Unfortunatley the living room is on the corner of the building, which means two of the walls are all windows (8ft windows)--trying to find thick curtains to help with this.

Do you think this package will work will? Would you recommend I try something different?

Mani-2 is very good choice mentioned!

every third post here is about believers and non-believers for spending high dollar for wires or not...

in reality it's not the price you're paying for the wire, but rather matching wire parameters to your equipment. if you unsure how to match parameters or don't know jota about electronics, it's also not a big deal because the differences are so minimal.

wires that somehow 'improve' the sound simply add coloration with excessive reactive parameters that make philes believe that WIRES MATTER.

the safest way to achieve a reference wire performance is to purchase recording studio standard wires.

Given the type of music you listen to, have you considered going with pro gear? That kind of music is meant to be played in a club environment. I know its an odd recommendation, but I feel that may be the right choice for you.

Zd542, forgive my ignorance, but what is pro gear? Are we talking Funktion 1?

I know my type of music isn't some type of popular audiophile music, but some of it is really magnificently produced. Sounds great on my 16's.

Modern electronic music...be it dub, trip hop, house, etc is often immaculately produced...they often use lots of echoe, panning techniques, etc...so a speaker with speed that images well would be my vote...others will chime in about bass...but I would relegate that to dedicated sub for your musical tastes...the extra frequency range and placement options would be helpful...in short...a sub/ standmount system comes to mind...a floorstander with at least 8 in drivers if u can't do a sub...

Ignore that dumb response telling you buy pro gear. Hell I listen to tons of electronic music too, like that's a crime on here? No you should just listen to the same Patricia Barber track over and over again lol. I think the gear you picked looks great. Dynaudio and Sim Audio match very well and Dynaudio is a real music lover's speaker very easy to set up and just enjoy music on and they won't bite your head off if the recording isn't perfect. Good luck it should sound great.
