Get bigger speakers and a bigger sub or stick with Bose lifestyle system....my brother has that system. Still sounds ok though.


beyond, I have a pair of Newform Research R645 speakers up front that go down to 36Hz. I have a pair of R630 in the back that do 40Hz. Being a fellow Canuck, I hope you know Newform. My sub is an SVS 16-46PC that goes down to 16Hz. If I were to use the Oppo 83's bass management, I would want the crossover set at 40Hz so that only sounds below that go to the sub; the Oppo 83 can only do 80Hz. The Oppo 93 & 95's bass management supports a whole range of frequencies down to 40Hz.
