Ditto Garebear...I miss them too...take what you can get whenever you can...Ever seen the incarnation called DSO aka Dark Star Orchestra??? Close your eyes and I swear you will have the passion and drive of a full show...They tour all over the USA... 
Please tell me about the Coda Technologies 15.0
Joe:Hopefully Rtilden will chime in here for you...He aquired this amp...I was happy to receive the Coda CSi integrated amp and I LOVE IT.. 
What is the most popular wood finish ?
My Tylers are in a beautiful walnut finish. 
What is the benefit of a second amplifier .
Mechans...Yep...we cannot all have a separate area for two systems and must work with what we have...plus my mains seem to be far enough from each other to not represent this vibration you speak of....I truly love my set-up as it brings volumes of... 
What is the benefit of a second amplifier .
LOL...yes I do have a wife and she totally approves of my set up...its not her gig but she does enjoy it when anything is playing...Our room is a converted sunroom that is 30 x 35 feet with the farther part of the room is her computer central whil... 
What is the benefit of a second amplifier .
Dtc is on the $$$...A separate 2 channel amp will benefit you if you wanted to venture more into the 2 channel mode. Try a Rotel RB-1572 amp for those B&W's you might like it as I was impressed with this combo from my local dealer. But this wi... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Just got the Oppo BDP 105....this is my last purchase for a while...this new unit has brought my system together in blissful harmony..Merry Christmas to me !!! 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Rose...anything can drive the 802's for sure...but to get the best of what they desire its best to have them on monoblocks or to their own amp. The Anthem P5 is suitable but if he is running the other 804's off of this amp he can make breakfast wi... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Honestly you are not going to get much difference other than an additional bass aspect, and if your sub is crossed over correctly this is a moot point. Plus if you do not have a separate amp to drive the 802's your benefit will be minimal at best.... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Hey Now Baran:I can only assume that you are not happy with your 804S ???Those should be providing you all that you need with your Anthem P5...I would be afraid that your jump to 802N would end up draining more power from your amp to drive them an... 
Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers?
I second the Tyler Acoustic Speakers...I have the Woodmere II's in a room that is 30 x 25 and they are fantastic...My suggestion is to contact Ty and have him build the speaker that will work best for you (drivers, crossovers,tweeters etc), not on... 
Recommendations for upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1
Yep...room is too small to get the effect of 7.1...better off with 5.1 as it will still give the surround more effectively. I have a 7 ft ceiling and it does take that cubic foot out of my equasion as I needed to have mine dropped from the ceiling... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
I bought my Oppo 105 as an upgrade from my 93 unit for the music side first and foremost, AND I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH IT !!! For the money it was the best purchase yet that has brought my system together in a harmonious bliss. Sure a $5,000 unit... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
+2 for Statman !!! I needed the universal player for home entertainment as well. But this unit is mostly 85% +++ for music only and serves as my stand alone source. It is nice as well to be able to play digital computer files as well, still don't ... 
Recommendations for upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1
Very little market of movies are released into 7.1 for home theater, but they do keep pushing the selling of devices to honor the few that are released. Most everything (95%+) is still 5.1 only...I have used my other channels for bi-amping the fro...
