Peter:
While it may seem that I have more speakers than one can concieve it actually works fairly well in real good harmony. But I will say that it does seem to lack something on certain tracks but I am sure it is the recordings. I will admit that the 2 channel is probably not my desire as my reciever does give me the opportunity to relieve any sort of musical temptations or coloration. I am sure that this does not fit certain audiophile expectations but the Pioneer does provide this trait. I think that I might venture towards the upgrade of the center channel and subwoofer. I had a good line on a SVS Ultra 13 but decided to pass and get his power amp instead. That has made a great improvement so the quest continues....

Yep...sub and the cc are definitly the next to be upgraded..I have been looking / saving for about 6 months now and ready to cash in...Ts, yes the Oppo does play HDCD and all others, this is a mean machine and it just got a killer updrade to You Tube "Leanback" which plays back the videos in full screen rather than a small picture area. Plus it alos added Pandora which is nice too..And yes I do stream some of the torrents through my Pioneer via my laptop...checkout Jamtopia website

My best friend has these I believe, I know they are the 2 series not sure on the exact model. I have a restriction of my ability to come from the wall. Currently my speakers are about 16 inches from the wall only because of the room layout I cannot bring them forward anymore. I did enjoy my friends Vandersteens but did note that they were a bit excessive in the bass dept though. Could have been his setup and arrangement too.

Does the Oppo have to go into a DAC or could it be just an integrated amp with HT Bypass??? How about Krell or Parasound would either of those work so they could be passed through my Pioneer and B&K???

Could this be a possiblity..Bel Canto S300i USB Integrated Amp to give me the 2ch and bypass that you speak of?? This is in my budget range. Anyone have comments about this amp?? A question I have is the line out on the unit, as I read the PDF it says that it can go to the sub or another amp...In my setup it would go to the amp and not the sub right??

Still trying to wrap my head around improving my system. I still feel its lacking fullness. Its nearly there, just can't quite put my hand or ear on it. The new center channel was an improvement ten fold (got the CDM CNT). I am still torn to see if new front full range speakers would provide me a LARGER sound. Or is this pre-amp or integrated amp the ticket to this achieved sound. Would love to consider a speaker that is Bi-amp capable and would sing with the rest of my equipment (I can dream can't I). I can only move the speakers out about 13-15 inches from the wall, so any suggestions would be great...Got about $3k to play with..
