Am I crazy to upgrade?

Hello all, I’m currently on the vetge of making a multi thousand dollar "upgrade" and thought it would be prudent to get some insight/ feedback from those that know before pulling any triggers. 

 

I currently have a 7.2 system with B&W 804s, 805s, SC1s, Htm1 & 2 Rel Storm iiis.

I have 3 Emotiva gen 2 XPA1s, an XPR5 for the rears, XMC--2, and a Blusound Node 2.

I have always wanted the Tekton Ulfberhts with two 410 subs and wide Double Impact center. I have the opportunity to pick them up at a very reasonable price as well as the Impact References for rears. So, when you upgrade your speakers you have to upgrade everything else. :) So I was thing Parasound JC1 monos and a JC3? Maybe a ysed Anthem AVM 70 or 90? Or a NAD M12 or M17? Ir Wyred 4 sound SX1000R monoblocks? Keep the Emotiva? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It would probably be a better idea to go with one of the different multichannel "packages" offered than mix/match on your own.

@Kennyc @deep_333 

+ 1 Those are huge. 

Also, what is the percentage of time used for home theater vs two channel stereo? 

Putting together a two channel system with a home theater is a very big compromise. They have different goals and one listens to them differently. If mostly home theater... I would definitely thing about a consistent package of speakers like @deep_333 recommended.

Also, I assume you're not married? Not sure I can imagine any woman would go along with those enormous speakers.

My room space is 30' x 40'. In the process of divorce. :) I'm actually selling her SUV to pay for it all. :) She was never supportive of the hobby. Lol However, I have high pitched ceilings. So, having a fancy Atmos home theater is too much of a hassle. So my main focus is 2 channnel.
