| Is there any real alternative to Oppo?? Mediatek is an OEM supplier that provides the platform for the OPPO BDP-95 and Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD. Both use the same Mediatek chipset. This should explain things better:http://hometheaterreview.com/cambridge-audio-azur-751bd-blu-ray-univer... | |

| Direct Digital Amplifiers I am not sure if this is exactly what you are referring to but the NAD C 390DD has some form of digital EQ on board.Bill | |
| Amp, On A Budget? 11-28-12: Peter_s"Aragon 2002. Great sounding inexpensive amp."Peter_s (System | Threads | Answers | This Thread)I could not agree more. I have an Acurus A200 which is the same amp as the Aragon 2002. They are well built, powerful, punchy, and ver... | |
| best vintage stereo receiver Just picked up a Luxman R-117 yesterday and I am totally sold on this baby. I have owned the R-115 before and was fond of it also but this R-117 is something else. Punch and detail are my best two words to describe it. The power reserves appear un... | |
| Processor Dilemma I think for -$1000.00, the Marantz AV7005 is a good choice. You could also add little more $$$ and get an Integra pre/pro or an equivalent Onkyo Pro pre/pro.http://app.audiogon.com/listings/processors-integra-dhc-80-2-9-2-channel-network-a-v-contr... | |
| What processor? "I am still waiting for the next great big display 75" that is reasonably priced. Maybe 5 to 7k."Is that 5 to 7k for the pre/pro or the display? If it is for the pre/pro, then I will have to agree with the Anthem D2 or the Anthem 50v. It really is... | |
| 10" sub.... 500 price barrier.... Roscoe,A great deal on a very musical 10" sub(one 10" active, two 10" passives) is over at the Klipsch forum. I know Klipsch is not that famous for their subs but this RT-10d is one of the exceptions. It also has onboard automatic room correction.... | |
| What processor? I have an NAD T175HD pre/pro that I am very pleased with for HT and music. The newer model is the T187 and it does not have any video processing onboard for the same reasons you stated. http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/processors/processors-reviews/... | |
| A/V Receiver to pair with Domus Grand Pianos I think finding another B&K receiver is a good option since you were pleased with your 505. Another choice for a very musical AVR is NAD. I own and older(2004) non HDMI NAD T773 AVR that I am only using in a 2-channel rig and am more than plea... | |

| What setup for my dedicated home theater? "So back to square one. Do I but a new/used AVR or a pre/pro and use my Rotel amp? I see a few Integra pre/pros on the board for sale 9.8 and 9.9 that have me intrigued. What do you think? They are both a few years old, so what new formats would I... | |
| 2.1 vs floor standing speakers My suggestion would be to look for a Marantz 2252B, 22565B, 2270, 2285, etc. and a pair of Klipsch Fortes and I think you will set for now. Or maybe a pair of Klipsch Heresys and a sub.Bill | |

| What current speakers to use with Marantz 2230? "If it were me, I would opt for some Klipsch Heresy's. They are perfect for the 2230"I could not agree more. Maybe Klipsch Quartets if you want deeper bass than Heresys can provide.Bill |
