RE: Wasted my weekend, again....

What part of the room is "dedicated" to audio? I see no room treatments in this limited view. Bare walls = bad sound, especially in a small room.

I would bet the CD player is the source of brightness if it is present with all speakers. I have heard the Oppo 105 with $16K speakers and it is no gem, with a sort of splashy, gray presentation. The only reason I'd have one is for multi-channel use. The 802's (I owned a pair) can get a bit edgy and in-your-face, especially with the crappy stock xover caps.

A cheapo speaker selector thrown into the system can't be helping anything, and new wire needs some time to settle down. I suggest you revisit after several days and use a single pair of good cables with each set of speakers.

I doubt that an impedance mismatch is the primary culprit.

Peace,
Tom E
