This all sounds good.

I would suggest a thinner speaker cable though. 24g seems to be the thinnest you want to go...although the aggregate AWG can be a number lower than 24, i wouldn't use conductors that are lower numbers.

Start with one 26g strand that you will use on your innerconnect. You will be surprised how just one of these can sound great. You may want to add a few more strands to see what difference that makes, but I don't think it will be necessary. Also, do keep in mind that thin wires need to be protected from vibration and movement or the bass can suffer a bit.

On speakers as efficient as those you should be fine with thin speaker cables. FWIW I use 28g on the bass run for my very inefficient maggies- they SAY 86db but they are a bit less efficient than that.
