If you are enjoying this process, fine, but it strikes me that you have picked an incredibly inefficient way to go about putting together a system. No one but you knows precisely what you are after (although a good dealer probably could eventually get a handle on it). Reviews and comments on forums are far from reliable sources for what equipment will sound like to you especially as integrated together into a system in your room.
I'm not opposed to buying used gear but buying unheard is a major risk unless you actively enjoy buying, selling and shipping equipment and know you are buying at a price with near 100% recapture on resale. In my case I'm a three to four hour drive away from the closest decent dealers* and there is is no significant concentration of good private systems within a hundred mile radius but I've managed to hear almost everything I own before buying. In Florida it should be easy unless you have a medical condition that makes very difficult or prevents travel.
*my experience is that good dealers can be a great help but the usual caveat applies - Don't waste a dealer's time if you're going to turn around and try to find the gear used or from another dealer.
