I have a 50" Sony SXRD projection TV. I see on Oppo's web site they list the DV-980H as the choice for Rear Projection DLP and the DV-981HD as the choice for 1080p TV's and front projectors. Seeing as my TV is a rear projection but not DLP I'm not sure what the best choice is. Does it really...

You think I would have to go with a very pricy CD player to get better sound using the analog outs on the player than just using the digital connection and letting my reciever do the DAC?

I have a $40 DVD player I currently use for my CD's as well. I'm hooking it up to a Marantz SR7001 with Revel F12 speakers. I just tried the digital coax output and it does sound a little better than the analog out. I'm still looking for a new CD player to replace it because I'm assuming it...

Thanks for the info. So what exactly are "transports"?

So does one necessairly sound better than the other? What about for playing CD's or DVD's? Would the coaxial digital out give better sound on a CD player connected to a reciever than the analog outputs? I'm assuming that when using the coaxial digital out the reciever will use its built in...

How much better do you think the Marantz would be compared to the Oppo?

I want to get a CD player. I'm mostly concerned with regular 2 channel CD's. I would like it to play DVD's but I want it to still be a good CD player. Getting something that does SACD or HDCD would be nice but not necessary. I would like to keep it under $300 as well. I had my eye on the...

I'm going to take a chance and get The Chieftins CD that MFSL currently sells on their web site. I figure I'm not out too much if it doesn't sound that great.

I unfortunately didn't get to audition the polks. I wanted to but the closest dealer was 5 hours away so I decided against them.

What web sites or stores sell the 24k Gold Master Recording CD's? I know of Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs but are there others?

I would never run A+B at the same time. I only have a pair of Revel Concerta F12's hooked up the the reciever right now. In the future I plan on getting the center and surrounds and hooking those up to the reciever as well. I would run all 5 speakers when I watched movies. I believe the center...

Thanks all for the help. I decided on the Revel Concerta F12's. It was down to the F12's and the Paradigm Studio 60. Listening back to back these speakers sounded quite similar. The Paradigm's sounded a bit more airy and open than the F12 but I really liked the midrange on the F12 as well as the...

I just got a Marantz SR7001 receiver and some Revel Concerta F12 speakers. The F12's are 6 Ohm's each and the receiver says on the back panel where you hook up the speaker leads minimum 8 ohm for the Front A+B channels and 6 Ohm min for the surrounds. The manual doesn't say any more than read...

I appreciate all of the input thus far. I have auditioned a few different speakers (Paradigm, B&W, Klipsch, Definitive Technology, etc) so far and will likely be listening to a few more. How much will I be giving up if I went with a pair of good bookshelf speakers in front with a good sub to...

I'm looking for some advice on buying some speakers for my home theater. I currently don't own anything so I'm starting fresh. I wanted to start with a pair of floor-standing speakers and then add the sub, center, and surrounds a little later. My first question: How important is it to get...
