What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?
I'm surprised so many think musicians don't care about hi fidelity, I've was a drummer since I was 12(64 now 🙁) and have always been interested in having the best stereo system I've been able to afford. Presently have Naim Supernait 3, B&W895D... 
Svs, Rel, or ?.
+1 SVS here.. Love mine, great customer support also.. had my hardwood floors replaced and ended up losing the power cord when everything was pulled for the work, I emailed SVS support looking to buy a replacement and they sent me a brand new one... 
your first system-
Early 70's Kenwood KR-5600 Stereo Receiver , Garrard Turntable and big ole 3way altec lansing speakers.. oh can't forget my Koss Pro/4AA headphones 😉  
Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s?
Thank you verdantaudio, I totally appreciate all your help and advice!!  ;)  
Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s?
@Verdonaudio first off thank you so much for your help, it’s been invaluable!! And yes ALL Mac’s are too big lol, funny but their manufacturing plant is actually a little less then a hour drive away from me.. Sadly the Canor’s 16" only leaves me a... 
Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s?
@Verdonaudio I came across another possibility, it seems to have plenty of power but not sure if it will the same lower ohm issues as the Aethos?   https://Musical fidelity m6si  
Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s?
@gestalt that's one incredible amp but sadly $8995 is out of my range... I'm pretty much at the $5000 limit-ish, I did originally start at a $3000 limit though lol.   
Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s?
@Verdonaudio I couldn’t find the depth of the AVM CS2.3 but I see it has a built in CD player, I should have added I do listen to CDs and I’m very fond of my Music Hall MMF-CD25 CD player so it would be a bit redundant. Very nice integrated though... 
Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s?
Ahhh.. thank you!!! Pretty disappointing, especially since I had a line on a lightly used Aethos for $3600(I believe it’s a demo)but so glad you told me, saved me possible grief later on👍. I took it for granted being 125wpc from a class A amp in a... 
Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s?
@Verdonaudio . I am sorry to hear the Aethos could possibly struggle with my speakers, didn't realize the 805s is considered a low impedance speaker?? The Rega was on the top of my list.. @jerryg123 yeah I'm not surprised there are issues with NA...
