I went with the Oppo 93 and am overjoyed with the performance. The features which were important for me in the 93 were SACD capability, quality of DVD upconversion, fast blu-ray load times, low noise of the unit (no fan), streaming capability, can play flac files, overall build quality...

Responses to questions I posed to Oppo customer service (quality of upconversion, quality of audio, capability to play flac files). Mike Michael, 1. The BDP-93 will be equal to or better than the BDP-83 when it comes to DVD de-interlacing and scaling. 2. Audio processing will be...

1) Do you like this finish? Sort of ... I like the overall design of the speaker much more. Very modern look. 2) What other finishes would you like to see in a speaker like this? Perhaps a smoother finish - not so rough. I do like the color. In addition I would like to...

Agreed ... thanks so much Peng! Mike

Peng, Thanks for offering your point of view. I know essentially doubling or tripling my power will make an audiable difference (3 to 6dB) and can provide more headroom for dynamic response by my relatively inefficient speakers. For the high quality recordings I have of classical content...

Peng, Glad to ... I have the RBH TK-5CT as my mains. Sensitivity is approximately 87dB, manufacturer lists them as 8ohms - Audioholics review as 6ohms. My room size is roughly 12 by 22 feet - I have my mains and TV positioned along the long axis of the room. I usually listen at about -30...

Well guys, I have a fine receiver (Denon 3808CI) with relatively inefficient speakers which need alot of power (RBHs). Ok for movies but clearly lacking in openenss and sufficient dynamic range when I play classical music on my system. In the future I will be looking to add significant...

Shades of "Rust Never Sleeps" ("I'd rather burn out than fade away") Could be another "Heath Ledger" Mike

The way a speaker sounds ... Given everyone has their own preference, I prefer speakers which are fairly neutral. I like to have a system with the characteristic of getting out of the way of the music so as I listen I can have a sense I am there during the performance. Words such as...

From wikipedia ... A monster is any type of legendary creatures which usually appear in legend or horror fiction. The word monster derives from the latin word monstrum, meaning "omen", from the root of monere ("to warn") and also meaning "prodigy" or "miracle". The term monster refers to a...

Jeanseb, Not good or bad. Rather, if you the speakers are a fit for you, it you really like their sound on preferred source material that is what is most important. If the Klipsch are more efficient than the speakers you have now they may go further - open up more - using the same level of...

My two cents, If you are happy with your speakers upgrade your amp. If you are uncertain about keeping your speakers shop around. Identify some source material you know very well, bring it with you, and check out what is available. Remember to have salesmen match loudness levels. If you find...

I ordered my Denon 3808CI through Dakmart and I was very pleased with their service and my reciever has performed like a champ. Best, Mike

For vocals and soundstage try Mapleshade's "Afterglow" featuring Kendra Shank ... a first rate audiophile recording of live performance at very reasonable cost. Best, Mike

I have been using Nikon's well before the dawn of the digital age. Their reputation for being rugged, having reliable exposure meters, and quality lenses is well-deserved. Do be aware, more than ever these days, the technology of features of DSLRs is a marketing gimmick. Always, always the...
