Wilson Benesch ACT1 VS Dynaudio Confidence 5
no experience with WB.Dynaudio Confidence 5 is very nice but 1. they need a VERY powerful amplifier2. bass roll off is a bit severe at around 40hz and this roll off is very audible.Otherwise, if bass frequencies below 40 are nothing you're concern... 
Great musical CDP?
No, I haven't heard the CD5. I have owned the CD3MkII for 2 years though, and loved it. I think it is one of the best CD players in that price range. Still is. I listen to the same type of music as you do. Classical music was reproduced in full gl...

Do Nordost match with B&W
Which Purist did you listen to? The Aqueous cables are large in diameter but are very flexible. 
McCormack Amp Upgrades
Tube540, just a suggestion....McCormack amplifiers sound best when they're left "on" 24/7. Or at least warmed up for a day before listening. I noticed this with all the McCormack amps I had(DNA-0.5Deluxe, DNA-125, DNA-225). 
Please recommend hearing protection
Thanks! We'll give hearos a try first.

good speaker with Sound stage behind????
