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?

I'm a big fan of electronic music from way back. I bought Tangerine Dream's Pheadra LP within a week of when it came out.

I've followed the ambient music scene ever since. Infinity Project , Global Communications, Transient Waves, Massive Attack, Juno Reactor, etc. I guess I like the dreamy stuff, but with lots of bass impact in the recording. Many of them I find to be demonstration quality and I often play them (all are on LP BTW) at shows.

I use tube amps and easy to drive speakers. I find it much easier to get the system to play bass and I can reach higher volumes without pain. At home I have Classic Audio Loudspeakers (model t-3.2) but I am a big fan of the Audiokinesis speakers, which pack a huge bang for the buck. Speakers like these allow me to get by with a 60 watt/channel amp without fear of clipping, they can shake the building and have tons of resoltion. The tube amps I use have direct-coupled outputs so they have full power to 2Hz. They can play bass like nothing else.

Did you know they can put a 10Hz signal on an LP? One reason I play analog because the bass is better :)

I'm into more downtempo stuff myself- Global Communications, Infinity Project, Symbiosis, Yello (although a lot of their stuff is quite danceable), Future Sound of London...
