Ron; If you read my test supplemental report of the 83SE you will find my recommendations around the issues I discovered: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/t.../oppo-bdp-83se Just set your speakers to large and their won't be a distortion issue, especially since you aren't using a sub...

Sure it can if the stock Oppo meets all of the THX requirements.

For what its worth, I found this on AVS which is a statement Lexicon apparently made about their player prior to our review: Link to the AVS thread here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1166176&page=12&highlight=audioholics

I hope that is not the case as I don't ever want to limit our access to companies for products to review. Perhaps they will instead use the criticisms we provided to produce an improved player.

If THX tested the analog outputs this would have never been the case hence why its my opinion that the THX certification should also support their legacy devices and connection methods.

I updated my tests by request of AVS members:

I can tell you that reporting our findings like this made us no friends in the industry. We were really disappointed in this as we were hoping Lexicon would have put some cool tweaky parts in the player to give our Audio Precision test gear a nice workout. I love tweaky stuff that can be...

Hey we got slashdotted! http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/1...Blu-ray-Player Fascinating review they conducted:) The publisher of that site is slamming us saying we are pro-Oppo b/c we sell them in our E-store. Hmm interesting viewpoint considering we posted several articles showing...

We are still trying to figure out what those improvements are since we didn't see any and they didn't disclose any. :rolleyes:

I added the following statement on the THX page to appease the Lexicon owners. Alternatively, a fellow Lexicon owner on AVS Forum pointed out that the end user can in fact have the BD-30 player do the decoding and pass the multi channel PCM data out of the HDMI output where the processor can...

I already asked via email and got no reply. I think they are at the NAAM show now. I don't believe this upgrade is possible without a hardware update but I may be wrong. I will let you know.

yes and Lexicon owners on AVS are already slamming this article :eek: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=17932466&posted=1#post17932466 Seems like you can't please the manufacturers or consumers by simply reporting truthful findings :(

Very nice setup. Try flipping the left speaker and left sub so that both speakers are equidistant from the sidewalls. This should improve imaging.

Unless you can get far enough away from the back channels, I wouldn't recommend using towers else they will be highly localizable. If you do mostly multi channel music listening, I suppose that could be a positive, but for movie watching its usually annoying. The back and side channels should...

that is fine too. I am referring to the newer 665 and below models. http://www.audioholics.com/education/amplifier-technology/trading

Agreed. Yamaha RX-V1800 and up have very good amp sections.

Yea its a bit misleading since "both" really means it sends bass from the Mains plus bass from all channels set small to the sub and the Mains still play full range but do NOT receive summed bass for the LFE channel or other channels set small.

If you want bass from your fronts and the sub then do the following: Mains: Large Sub: Both This will give you sub for all modes but pure direct. Just don't use pure direct and you will be fine.

Sounds like its time to move the E5Ti's to the back channels :D

This is all related to the article I wrote: The DVD / Blu-ray RentalGate Scandal Sadly the article didn't draw as much attention from our readers than I anticipated. :confused:
