Yves, I am a speaker builder at heart, having built, fixed, or modified many. And I will continue to do so - However, I no longer believe that a speakers contribution (unless the speakers are junk) to sound is as important as other components, esp source components.I also believe that the speaker / amp interface is very important, since I have heard perfectly musical speakers sound horrible when used with certain amps - even expensive units.
Obviously, a good set of speakers is a must. But IME once your system has been setup properly and you have achieved a certain amount of transparency and system synergy - only your source components will dictate how high a level of musicality your system may achieve.
Of all the CDP players you heard, (and I agree on many of your comments about them) - i will state that NONE of them IMO are what I would consider highly musical players today - although in their day they may have been excellent.
CDP's have gotten so much better over the last 2 years that I urge you to try a current model, and I believe the next 2 years will bring even better results with cheaper price tags.
Also - I would purchase 1 excellent cdp over 2 good cdp's (at the same price) anytime, since the highest possible fidelity at a certain cost is what most people in this forum are trying to achieve.
