Yea, saw this yesterday while window shopping for a new HT pre-pro. wonder if I should add Lexicon to my list right below B & K of folks i won;t do business with. Oppo is the only name on my list for a Bluray source, even before I read this.
Why B+K ?
Not perusing B&K anymore mainly because of the promises an under-delivering on the Ref 80 as well as the non-existent upgrade path which they claim to offer.
Gene DellaSala at Audioholics re-tested the Lexicon unit for multi-channel performance, and found it actually underperforms the Oppo, because Oppo has released a number of firmware updates to address bass management issues, whereas Lexicon has not!http://forums.audioholics.com/forums...4&postcount=81All this combined with Lexicons reluctance to come clean on the issue doesnt look good for their future. hope no one is trying to sell a used deck cuz the bottom just fell out of their resale values.
