Would I be crazy to swap B&W 800 series for Klipsch RP series? (804S VS RP-260F)
Is it possible for you to fund the Klipsch RP-260F or 280F purchase before you sell the B&W 804's?  If so, then do that and do a head to head.Bill 
Chromecast and external DAC
I move my Chromecast Audio from rig to rig(I know they are only $35.00) and it shines more when I stream digital via mini toslink to my Cambridge Audio 840C player/DAC.  For the price of entry of $35.00, the built in DAC is acceptable when I just ... 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
"The RP and RF series speakers don’t hold a candle to the Heritage line with music playback"@helomech,Can't say much about the RP line since I have never heard them but some, specifically the RF-63's and RB-75's do a jam up job with music.  I have... 
Looking for a quality, easy to use, A/V processor
Maybe a new or refurbished Marantz 7703 or Yamaha 5100?Bill  
Looking for a quality, easy to use, A/V processor
What amplifier will you be using with this pre/pro?What's your budget?Are you replacing the Klipsch Synergy?  If not, I would just get at a minimum a midlevel AVR that does what you need.Bill 
Oppo 105, Oppo 205, or Legacy SACD (Esoteric, Cary CD 306, etc)
@thiefoflight , I have the CD-S1000 which is pretty much close to 90% of the CD-S2000 and it is a wonderful player, built like a brick at 33lbs, and seriously one of the smoothest/quietest tray mechanisms I have ever owned.Congrats on your purchas...

Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
" I do think the Heresy IIIs aren’t so great for near field listening"@wolf_garcia ,I can't say for sure about the Heresy III but the HI and HII are great for near field listening, IMO.  I think that is what I am most intrigued about these speake... 
Denon AVR 4806...HDMI question
Yes I am certain of that.  Let your BD player do the lossless audio decoding for movies and send it analog(5.1, 7.1) to the Denon.  For stereo music, go digital(Coax RCA, optical/toslink) or just RCA analog from player to Denon.  Bill

Oppo protection plan ??
From my experience and from others that I know who own Oppo, failure rates are few and far between.Bill

@oddiofyl "Though not broken in these Heresy are just plain fun to listen to....."Never heard the Heresy III but can say just about the same thing about my Heresy I and Heresy II.  Amplifier friendly, tight punchy bass, and freewheeling dynamics.Bill

@mr_m Yes I know, the two links in my previous post indicated that.I am the Bill
