I haven't ordered new woofers yet as i'm still playing with adjustments and really need the room closed off to get a good listen in the upper db range. I did change the attenuation 1db(from 7db to 8db) and it seems a move in the right direction, it's hard to tell with only 1bd adjustment. I also tried some different preamp tubes i had laying around. The Electro Harmonics 12AX7 GOLD. These little babies made i nice improvement in the sound stage opening it up a bunch and brought out strings and cymbals a bit more. Over all, it's sound pretty badass, but i'm still looking for a bit more bass. I might make another adjustment on the mid attenuation and set it a 9db. This should bring out a bit more bass. With the B&C 85TN mid driver spec at 107db and the Kappalite 3015LF at 96, that would give a 2db spread between woofer and mid.

After all the reviews and help on here, I think the UB820 is the player for me. I can buy new for under $500, so fits the budget nicely. The ub820 had 2 hdmi out’s, so why can’t I run and hdmi out to the tv and another out to the marantz?

Ok, simple is good.

Ok, how does the 820 picture quality compare to the 105?

Well, i'm not sure how these items all connect, but will be using a Marantz SR5007 with the Samsung tv. So, not sure of my connects with these components.

Yes, they are pricey. You guys have been a great help in my search.

What was your previous player to the UB820? I'm looking for great picture quality as well as sound quality.

Lets keep it simple. I read a review on the UB820, where a gentleman bought an 820 to replace his old 500. Said picture quality was not as good with the 820 as he had with the 500, so he bought the 9000 and was more than happy. The 9000 is just way more that i want to spend on a player at this time. The Panasonic looks to be a very nice player on the cheap. Still looking. On the other hand, how much better is 4K vs the old 1080p? May settle for the oppo103.

You guys are getting a bit over my head here. I don't have a DAC. I thought i could buy a player and connect to my TV with HDMI and be done. Simple plug and play. Looking for simplicity here.

The UB820 looks to be very nice. The UB9000 looks even nicer, but out of my cost range. I also see a 420 and a 150.

Ok, a bit complicated for me as i'm a simple 2ch stereo guy. I assume you mean 4Kx2K output plug in is on the oppo 103 unit? Or is there a separate piece of equipment i need to make this happen?

Ok, so how do you pass 4K thru the 103 player. Sounds complicated. I will be using a Samsung 4K tv.

Yes, 4K. I thought the 103 was compatable?

Thanks, i will do some more research. Looks like just about any model oppo would be good.

Just an update with The One. The wife found an EQ on her I phone and now the One sounds even better.

Buying used wouldn't be an issue with the oppo. What is a good model in a Panasonic to look for used?

I would like to know if a 12" Klipsch sub would be large enough for this size room or if i should step up to a 15"? I will not be using dual subs.

Still need to figure out which Klipsch subwoofer and rear surrounds to purchase for this room as well as the new Samsung 65", so looking for used at this point in the oppo player.

Thank you

Gonna get something used for now, i have a few things to get for the theater room.

Used, under $500

Looking at used blue ray players for a theater room i'm setting up. Are these two players any good? Looking for good graphics and sound output, BDP-95 and BDP 103?

I don't need subs for music and only one sub for medium volume theater.

Thanks Kevin.

Ok, thanks Kevin. I couldn't find any good honest reviews on the Origin. I gave up on that table and again am looking at the better of the EAT tables like the C major and the C sharp. Did you check out the EAT jo no5 cartridge. Thinking of having this included with the table at purchase. I did check out the bronze cartridge and some like the blue over the bronze. I will keep an open eye for a used Delphi MK2 as well.
