Oppo 83SE Analog Setup
Setting the surround (or any) speakers to large eliminates the crossover and sends a full-range signal to the speaker instead of diverting bass to the subwoofer."Best" is subjective and situational. With M20s, potent but small speakers, and a pair... 
Sterophile's not so nice review of Bryston
Audiophile Consumer Reports? Take the subscription cost for CR and multiply that by the ratio of their subscriber base to that of Stereophile or TAS. Think it will fly?Kal 
XTZ Room Analyzer or something else?
CARA will not 'suggest' where to move your speakers but will select the optimum position within the range/area you specify. However, it is based on the information you enter into the system and not on real-world measurements. Also, it is based on ... 
Anyone use Next Acoustics room treatments?
"If you’re at all unsure about our test numbers, drop us a line at info@nextacoustics.com and we’ll e-mail you the test results."Why not post them on the website? Kal

2 channel pre to multi channel amp connection
?? If you want to feed both signals (from pre and from HT) to the same power amp inputs, a Y-cable is a poor choice since the low output impedance of each source will shunt the other.If, on the other hand, you simply want to connect 2 channels fro... 
anyone have experience with Anthem arc?
Yes. Unless, of course, your setup has perfect acoustics.Kal 
Oppo 83 SE wich would be best for my system vs 83
First, I was speaking only about audio quality. Video quality is identical in the two players.Second, HDMI will be superior for a digital display, such as with modern flat panel devices. Kal

Multi channel preamps for Movies
It ain't mine as it is on loan from Parasound. I am thinking about buying it just to have an analog preamp around for situations when my all-digital Meridian won't do. If the P7 had a 5.1/7.1 balanced analog INPUT, I would already have done it.Kal
