I'm jonesing for a set of Canton 7K or 8K speakers, but the prospect of having to wait so long for them to 'strut their stuff' has me very hesitant.

I'd put any discretionary money into a Shunyata Denali 6000/S V2 than new speakers. And making the room better if there's room for improvement there.
