They also said that THX helped to make the unit better because of the Lexicon project. Getting to the THX issue if indeed the BD-30 passes testing for THX then so should the Oppo they simply are no different, in fact you state here in your own words that Quote:Oppo said that Harmans engineers helped them make the video section of their player better. You speak of better build quality the only difference in that area is strictly visual the outside case, sorry but that doesent add up to 700% increase in price. You speak about improvements that Lexicon made but say you dont do measurements and to date the only proof of any measuring shows their identical audio and video wise. Posted on Janu8:17 PM First off the not so well hidden insinuations that Audioholics is doing this in order to run down lexicon to pump up oppo sales is petty and quite frankly prepostorous, I can buy an Oppo directly from Oppo themselves no need for Audioholics for this, and I own Lexicon gear the market that Lexicon gear appeals to is different as you yourself said they are not competing for sales. The irony is that review sites like yours rely on advertising money that comes from the manufacturers whose gear they assess. Ill also forward your comments on to Audioholics as Im sure theyll want to respond to your unsupported claims that theyre lying in order to benefit financially.
