Either way but only if the limited bass management in the Oppo is adequate for your setup (it is not for mine) and you can live without room EQ (I cannot). Your move.

Hi Kal, whats sort of timescale are we looking at before we hear your comments on the SSP vs 861? Given the cost of upgrading my 861 to 861v6 Im taking time out to review alternatives and not leaping blindly....

thx in adv

If all goes without incident, it will be in the July column. Using the SSP now in the weekend system and will transfer it to the main system (where the Meridian now resides) in about 2-3 weeks.

Can the same be said that the G61r and a BDP-09(analog in) is a nice cost effective solution than the Classe 800?

The classe usually makes good looking gear, the bad is that it doesnt have scaling/video processing and room EQ system. Aside from that, it sounds good.
