NAD 375BEE and C565BEE or C545BEE (don't know which is the better CD player)

and

Audiolab 8200CDQ and 2 Audiolab MBs.

As anyone auditioned these pieces? Should I go with something else. My price range is $2000-$3000.

Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Don't have as many audio shops as in the past. We've lost 2 in the past year. Big box stores have killed the market.
I'm not saying that your options are bad, but with a pretty decent budget like what you have, I'd want to audition a lot more products... If you can't find anymore HiFi shops that you can visit, then perhaps you should purchase from online sellers like:

http://www.audioadvisor.com/
or
http://www.musicdirect.com/

Both have good return policies and a decent variety of amps and CDPs to chose from...

Also, do you have a DVD player from your old HT that you could salvage (or do you listen to a lot of music on your computer)? If so then you consider getting a DAC instead of a CDP (which would allow you allocate more funds towards your amp)...
