The Lex IS a oppo83...for 2.5 thousand more...it's your money but I suggest save for a rainy day.

AC Power Suggestions
Typically it is ideal to seperate audio sources from video sources concerning their power source. I don't have such luxury but do use different receptacles which are in the same chain. I have not had any noise/video interference. I will in the fut... 
high end subwoofer...which one tho?
That's a small room for now and you would not 'need' the formentioned however it would be useful and work later for a larger room. I would opt for a svs 13...just because of the fact why pay more. Take a look at Elemental Designs (ED) subs as well... 
Just One Shelf...
The polk and boston acoustic soundbar type spkrs are nice if you want mproved tv audio performance...as well as dvd sound in the future. 
Do you ever wonder?
Coldplay...good but not that good. Just about anything out today in pop music or should I say poop music. Barry Manilow, BeeGees, and just about every country artist out there. Too many to list. 
Whats your current Reference CD at the moment?
Alejandro Sanz...multi grammy winner, good production, tight band, live show kicked my ass in Atlanta. No es lo Mismo is the one to buy/play as it really differs in subtle to dynamic within the tracks. A mix of K. Lang songs that I compiled and bu... 
Your First Vinyl Album.
Kiss Alive II...at Roses dept store...here in NC. I'll never forget that feeling. I was just a kid, about 13 or 14 I guess. Grandma took me to the store in her minty Buick Electra 225. Great thread...deep in memory at the moment. I need to get bac... 
Oppo BDP-83 question
Which dvd player do you refer to...curious...cambridge, pioneer, denon, ? 
Warm Sounding Surround Receiver
My Boston Acoustics avr7120 is very nice. Based on Outlaw and Sherwood Newcastle platform it is a highly rated yet overlooked beast due to it's short production run. Was only out for a yr or so and then BA pulled out of the 'components' market. Th... 
Best used preamp processor
For your proposed budget the outlaw is nice and can be had for less. On the other hand...for a hundred more than you propose the new Emotiva umc1 is a boatload of tech for a crazy low price and remember customer support/service. Something to ponder. 
AV Processor and Blu Ray Question
You will be completely satisfied w/ the oppo handling the decoding/processing of hidef soundtracks via the analog outs. The unit also has a dedicated set of L/R cd outputs for stereo only as well as the usual digi and hdmi outs. It covers all base... 
Need help with Blu Ray upgrade
If you are smart...? The oppo83 will output multi-ch anything via hdmi and analog with onboard processing for older non-hdmi units. The smart question or concern is whether or not the preamp/recvr will accept it. Either way the oppo handily outdoe... 
DVD or Blu Ray Player Recommendation
You will not regret the 83 purchase. Great performer in all aspects and vg resell value...though I don't see you wanting to sell it anytime soon after you use it.
