I have no data on this, but I'll be willing to bet a lot of professional musicians, even those with positions in famous symphony orchestras, listen to Best Buy grade components.Because the truth is commodity grade stereo equipment these days is quite capable of very accurate music reproduction. And that's solely due to the R&D that has gone into amplifier and speakers design over the past 90 years. Yes, that's right, advancements brought to us by the "Theory Men"!
Most audiophiles are about the equipment, not the music. The quality of the music for them is directly related to the price paid or the review in that worshiped audio magazine.
