| B&W 650 Bookshelf Speakers for Music and 2ch HT? FWIW, I use three B&W LCR 6 S2's for my front soundstage with B&W in ceiling surrounds. I have a Rotel receiver w/70 wpc and it powers the B&Ws just fine. The B&Ws work well for music and home theater and I have a big room. I picke... | |
| Topnotch BluRay Concert..... Great thread. I just ordered Snakes and Arrows and the Botti disc with a gift card I received. Looking forward to getting them. Adele is on the 'wish list' and ironically, the only one I have not had a chance to see in concert. | |
| LED vs Plasma, 60" vs 65" Do the plasmas still have reflection issues for those of us with lots of natural light in our rooms? Reflections drive me crazier than I already am. | |
| Upgrade strategy -- midfi to higher-fi @Sebrof: yes, music and home theater.Room is large as it has 12' ceilings and is an irregularly shaped "great room", not a dedicated home theater room (nor is there ever going to be one in this house -- too small). It's also a lively room with til... | |

| Oppo 95 setup question -- complete Noob question Thanks. I just found it odd that the analog outs had the processing done vs. digital stereo out. For example, on the Wadia ipod interface, using the analog out uses your processor's DACs while the digital out uses the $0.10 DAC in the ipod. Had me... | |
| Oppo 95 setup question -- complete Noob question OK, been playing with the Oppo 95 for a while. I have a couple of things that I could use help with. I am not sure they aren't due to me.1) Played "Hell Freezes Over" DVD by the Eagles. I could not get the DTS bonus track to work ("Seven Bridges R... | |
| Oppo 95 setup question -- complete Noob question Jdub39: I reread the manual and it did mention something about using the FL/FR outs as part of the 5.1 to get the ESS Sabre DACs, but I wasn't sure if this would work when I wanted to go to 2 channel. I guess if I select multi input on my Rotel fo... | |
| Oppo 95 setup question -- complete Noob question Ok, thanks! Now it is time to browse the cable ads for some new 2-channel rca cables. | |
