what system musicians prefer? Do they care?


I have never aspired to be a musician, although I am very artistic.  I am bad at singing and never enjoyed dabbling at playing an instrument. But I enjoy listening to music tremendously and I always wondered if being a musician would improve my experience as a listener. It seems to me that musicians (good ones) would have a lot more expertise in sound, what is good quality sound, a good system, a high fidelity speaker.... but I have never seen any proof. Am I just imagining it? Are good musicians mediocre listeners? Are they not obsessed with good sound? Any musicians out there to comment?
One example I know is the  Cambridge Soundworks Mick Fleetwood Speaker System, which I finally purchased last year, I knew my collection would not be complete without it. It's evidence of great talents crossing paths: a  genious speaker designer Henry Kloss, and Mick Fleetwood, one of the greatest drummers of the century (and  the previous one). But I don't see musicians weighing in on what are good systems are, how much is it worth spending and what to focus on. It's much more like rich douchebags bragging about the price of their systems on these forums.

Ages ago I remember reading an article that interviewed a few prominent recording artists at that time, what their home systems were. The only artist’s answer that I remember was Kenny Logins.  He stated that his home system was decidedly average sound quality for the reason that when he took home recordings he was working on, he wanted to hear what his average fan was hearing regarding sound quality. What perfect sense that made to me then, and now. 
I guess the key idea in that example is that the subject is “recording artist” not musicians in general. I wonder what recording engineers have in their homes. Perhaps they’re tired of listening at work and just want to watch old Honeymooners reruns when they’re done for the day.  Having worked in the live performance biz for many years, I’ve noticed that live sound engineers almost to a person have mediocre to very sub par home gear. They just couldn’t care less. 
 

to all their own,
