Why is Oppo stopping products.
@prpixel The way I look at it you should get the best device to perform the function that you're looking for it to accomplish.  Let the disc player be the best disc player it can be, and for apps get the best streaming box you can, whether that be...

Looking for a warm sweet speaker
Hmm, maybe I'm using different terminology than you are, but when I think 'warm' that tends to make me think of a rather smoothed treble response instead of a resolving one. For resolution without harshness it's hard to beat Revel, especially the ... 
Seal a ported sub?
@erik_squires I agree.  More manufacturers need to go the route of Anthem (STR series), Elac (Element), and Yamaha (R-N803) and offer integrated amps with real bass management and room correction built-in.  I believe the biggest obstacle to the tr...

The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars!
I’d love the chance to hear some Maggies in a well designed room, set up properly, and playing some content I’m familiar with.  I had high hopes for the demo at AXPONA but left pretty unimpressed.  I have a feeling that was much more due to the se...

Classical composers, symphonies
Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade and Russian Easter Festival Overture are both pieces you'd likely enjoy.  They're program pieces and not symphonies, but still large orchestral works, and the Russians write for brass better than most anyone else.
