Should I upgrade my Blu-ray player now?
Can I ask what you are not satisfied with and what you are trying to accomplish? 
OPPO 103 or OPPO 95?
Seems to me based on what you're doing you have no need for 4K future support or scaling so I'd say go with the 95 with the better analog stage. 
OPPO 103 or OPPO 95?
Joe what are you trying to accomplish? That will determine which to lean towards. Analog audio out tips the scale to the 95. 
Anthem D2 vs Marantz 8801
The D2 is hands down the audio champ. The audio with the D2s is special. 
Meridian G95 Class D amp with my Revel M22s?
The Revels love more power. Love the M22s ;-) 
Meridian G95 Class D amp with my Revel M22s?
It's funny you should mention Class D and Revel. There was just a review on Audioholics mentioning that. Here's the link if you're interested: http://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/red-dragon-m500mkii-m1000mkii-amplifier-reviewFirst of all,... 
Center channel
Dan,Personally, I don't think you'll hear a difference between the spikes and the isolation pads assuming that you will cross the center channel over at 80Hz. I assume the spikes will elevate the center channel more vs. the isolation pads. Use whi... 
Must L + C + R speakers be depth-aligned?
The common misconception when looking at LCR diagrams is that the C speaker is recessed more. Technically, they are all supposed to be the same distance from the listening seat. When that's not possible, you compensate in your HT pre-pro and set t... 
HT amp for music- please help
I'd second your thoughts about ATI. The bang for the buck is incredible. Then again, it's their manufacturing expertise under the hood of Theta, Lexicon, Mark Levinson, etc. You get both power and finesse. Music and movies. 
Basement flood damaged y gear
Girish,It will depend on your policy if you have current value or replacement. In other words, your policy will likely dictate what's what. If you got your gear from a local HiFi shop, I suggest contacting them. They can provide the certified lett... 
Oppo 103d darbee?
The issue of whether it's worth the extra $100 is really in how you like the extra processing. I purchased the Darbee Darblet some years ago and put it between my Anthem AVM50v and HDTV. I found that the Darbee's processing was the same as applyin... 
subwoofer suggestions
The previous comments are well said. SVS is where I would also recommend you look. If you're wiling to go used, look at both JL Fathom, REL, and Revel for subs. There are many, many other brands but those are my four that I'd recommend. 
Center Channel with Revel M22s
Theo's answer is spot-on. The C32 is the timre-matched center for the M22s. The C52 uses a different wave-guide on the tweeter and is intended for the F52s. 
Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do.
I second the Blackhawk Down from M297904. What a great scene and what a great demo that makes! 
Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do.
Depends on what you want to show off. If it's sheer thrust of the LFE and subwoofer, then U571 is a classic with the depth charges. Super 8—the train wreck scene is another great demo for that. An unheralded dark horse is the Tom Cruise war of the...
