Revel Studio 1, B&W 802N or Sonus Faber Cremonas

Where to start with this question. I am pretty much starting over with my system and I would like to get some opinions. I currently do not own anything but I have owned alot over the last 10 years. I have owned speakers from Revel, B&W and Sonus Faber (to name a few) but not the above mentioned. I enjoy a musical sound with excellent imaging and transparency. I am thinking about going with a Primare stack (Pre30, A32 amp and CD31) or a Parasound stack (JC2 pre, A21 amp) and the Ayre CX-7e cd player. Or the Mcintosh MA7000 integrated with the Ayre Cx-7e cd player. Cables are unknown at this time. I would just like to get opinions on which speakers with which electronics. I would be happy with any of the speakers but I am unsure on the electronics. Your comments are very much appreciated!!

Ejlif..Only a fool would pick up front gear first and match to a speaker,we all know that but I guess you and the original poster..Brandonosman23 ,If your thinking about buying a Running Springs supply(big bucks) and Emotion cables(again big bucks),why are you buying older speakers that have been updated and improved?? Your mindset is a** backwards, take a deep breath and do this..Pick your speakers,spend the most you can possible afford,then match gear to them as you go..Thats how its done..If you like Revel then go for the Salon2,if B&W floats the boat then belly up and get the 802D etc....You can buy all the cables and supplies ya want but the speakers are first and foremost..Everything else is nonsense if your speakers suck!!!

Buying the best speaker you can afford makes no sense???The original Salon is better than the the Salon 2..The older Cremona is better than the M??Whats the saying,remain silent and be thought a fool as to opening your mouth and removing all doubt!!!. I never said short changing on electronics,I never said the older models are junk,I said spend the most you can on speakers and buy electroics as you go..I also stated that upfront gear doesnt matter if your speakers are shit..You guys are funny ,keep it up
