Amp upgrade for Revel M20 speakers
Jblack16, take a look here at the Stereophile Measurements for the M20. I think they indicate that the speaker is not best suited for a tube amp, especially one that is 40 watt. Also, their estimated sensitivity is lower than what is specified for... 
Klipsch KG5.5 or Klipsch Forte or...??
Retired now, but worked in the audio industry for over 20 years, and sold the KG5.5's when they were new. Liked the smaller KG series speakers, actually still have a pair of KG2.2's for a small bedroom system, but didn't care for the larger ones. ...

Ct0517, I absolutely agree to try different things, as that does allow someone to learn more about this crazy hobby, and I have done my share over the years. However, some things can be like trying to climb a greased pole, and I refer to this comm... 
Cleaning Multiple records at once recipe...
Interesting way to clean records, but not as strange as the wood glue method, I'm sure some of you have heard of. However, this is the most ridiculous way on How to clean your vinyl records.

Audio hookups
Dtc, in your first post, you said to use the optical or coaxial digital audio out. The link I provided for the Sony verified that this is only a 2ch PCM signal or bitstream.Question - the Sony spec for coax/Toslink is 2 channel for 96/24. Are you ... 
Audio hookups

Audio hookups
It would be helpful to list the model numbers of the BRP and HDTV.Initial thought is that with HDMI directly to the TV from the BRP, TV speakers should work unless TV speakers are turned off in the TV's menu. The TV should have a digital audio out...
