It’s your money. Try not to waste it. For $3600, there are a lot of choices out there!
Is the OPPO-205 worth $3600?
Howdy from Flagstaff, AZ!
So —I was too late to sign up to feasibility be offered the opportunity to purchase a 205 at the end of this month. Is it worth spending $3600 for this beautiful beast? My intention was to also use it as a preamp and possibly do the ModWright upgrade. Is there a viable alternative (I’m speaking primarily about a quality UHD-disc player) with-in the $1200-3500 range?
Now that I’m a grown-ass adult, consummately in mid-thirties, I’ve decided to build a respectable home theater and stereo system. My appartment is realively small, the room in which I’m building my system is about 11x13 ft and the walls curve into the ceiling, might be good for acoustics (maybe) – the walls are thick 100 year old plaster covering stone.
One of the many reasons I’m interested in the 205 is shere simplicity — I don’t have oodles of space for a smorgasbord of components. I already own a Proceed AMP-5 (I would like to take advance of its XLR connections) and I am seriously considering purchasing a pair of either D2 or D3 B&W 804 towers, a comparable B&W center speaker, eventually some 805 for surrounds (I currently have some fifteen year ol’ B&W 600 series to get me by In the meantime). My Panny Plasma just met an unfortuate end, but I intend to pick up a 65” LG C8 once the price drops.
Although slightly tangentle from the original question, I’m just providing this superfluous information to paint a clearer picture of my intentions.
This is my first post — i only registered a few hours ago; please be kind. I supplicate myself to your expertise.
