The Oppo BDP 83 has speaker distance adjustments.

Not suitable ones for me. - Kal Rubinson 13:20:44 12/18/09 (5)
No speaker can be set to be farther from the listener than the main L/Rs. Both my center and my sub are farther away.

- Good point about the sub placement. - oscar 14:05:06 12/18/09 (4)
  Is distance relative to full-range speakers really that important for a subwoofer(s) ?
  - Yes and more so because..................... - Kal Rubinson 15:05:21 12/18/09 (2)
    any use of a sub EQ (such as the ones in the jl and new Paradigm subs or a standalone one such as the SVS) will add significantly to the effective distance because of the latency of the DSP.

    - Interesting dilemma... I have a couple of daisy chained JL audio subs - oscar 16:01:45 12/18/09 (1)
      both at different distances in different parts of the room. There is an alleged one time "auto-calibration" ritual using a microphone to help the subs figure out automatically what each is supposed to do as the subs self-generate test tones. How does a preamp/processor know how to handle this ?
      
      Problem should get even more intesting when(/if?) the recommended four (4) subs are implemented.

        This is a complicated issue. There are a few interesting approaches.
        
        One is the SVS-EQ1/Audyssey SubEQ approach in which the subEQ takes care of the differential in delays of a pair and the bass management in the processor deals with the net performance of the pair.
        
        There is another from JBL which handles up to 4 subs and EQs them.

    Especially important. You notice the delay (=distance) much more easily with LF signals.
    
    I forgot about this issue with the Oppo (say) BM...and it isn't going to be changed soon either since it originates with a (non-custom) chip maker. I don't use the mch analog outputs anyway.
