Real time analyzer
The simplest RTA is TrueRTA (freeware for low res but inexpensive)which comes in various resolution levels up to 1/24 octave. http://www.trueaudio.com/Next up is RoomEQWizard (freeware) which does RTA as well as many other equally important functi... 
Does delay really matter?
If your speaker placement is "ideal," you should have no need of delay settings. No? 
Wiremold w/ surge
By limiting the insurance in that way, they eliminate the possibility that you won't daisy-chain 200-300 devices. The real consideration is the current load you need to handle, not the number of outlets.Kal 
bi amp imrpoving?
Rodman, that is confusing two meanings for biamping. The usual meaning in most audio arenas is independently powering the drivers (or groups of drivers) within a commercial multiway system or by design of an active multiway system. In those cases,...

07-10-10: MhedgesKal - why do you need a custom crossover? What's wrong with a of the shelf active crossover like the NHT X2?That is because a crossover from a textbook (as must be all off-the-shelf designs) cannot compensate for the parameters of...

need something to replace built in LCDTV speakers?
A sound bar is the easiest and neatest solution as you can run it from the audio outputs of the TV.The Bose might work, too. It would be similar to the Meridian F80 that I employed in the same way for a while.Kal 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
IMO, indeed. You can posit a lot of numbers and create strawman arguments (cost, bulk) but I do not see any convincing reality-based arguments about the fundamental differences between 2 channel and multichannel. Some of it is fundamentally wrong:... 
Behold- Digital crossover
You can use a vinyl source but it would be digitized so you will ultimately lose some resolution.This is debatable but I understand the bias.I have found passive room correction to still offer better results and is much less expensive in most case... 
bi amp imrpoving?
Amen. That is what I meant to imply.Kal

What is it? Do you have a link?Kal 
bi amp imrpoving?
If you intend to do active biamping, you must (1) bypass or remove the crossover built into the speakers and (2) implement a custom-designed line-level replacement for it. This is not trivial as off-the-shelf crossovers will not do but it has beco... 
Oppo BDP 83SE- RESULTS ARE IN
There will likely never be any change in the bass management on these Oppos. Firmware updates usually address functional issues related to playing discs with new features and fixing various tracking/noise issues. Cannot say what the "latest" will ...
