3 channel sound
1. I reviewed the Trinaural here: http://www.stereophile.com/musicintheround/904music/index1.html2. The VAS and the Trinaural derive (synthesize or extract) the center channel from a stereo signal. It is not quite the same as a discrete 3 channel ...

"Audyssey Volume and EQ do a lot in resolution."So, you are speaking of SUBJECTIVE resolution. That was not clear from your original post and, especially with regard to DV and DEQ, quite debatable.

I am a big fan of Audyssey but I think Bol972 is a bit over the top in his descriptions of what Pro can accomplish, even in his hands. His statement that "Resolution is a lot higher compared to XT32" is patently false since Pro can only utilize th... 
Need to know the best proccessor ...........
Drew911, match the amps to your speakers. Any decent prepro will mate well with any decent amp. 
b&w slotted screw on the back tension torque????
Depends on what you are discussing. There is a Philips screw that holds a small plate in place for transportation security. That screw (and plate) can be removed once the speaker is in place.The screw actually threads through a larger flat, one-sl...

Odd length speaker cables
Sorry, Sonicbeauty, but you did relate these two variables in your statement and there is no scientific justification for it. What works for me: I use a 16ft on one side, and 9ft on the other. This shifts the stereo image to the short side on the ... 
Bi amp will it work
There is no reason to "control the amp driving the tweeters" since (1) the output is synched with the overall levels and limited by the LF amp output and (2) the passive XO components in the speaker will be protective. 
Bi amp will it work
You need to check the input sensitivity/gain of the two amps. Odds are that they are the same but, if not, you will need to find a way to balance them.

Are You Using A Separate DAC With Your Oppo 105?
If Oppo can upgrade firmware on the 105 for DSD, that could make it quite the bargain. Coming soon.
