Von Schweikert LCR-15 or B&W HTM2

I would opt for the B&W so I could keep the sonic characteristics all the same. Mixing brands isnt going to allow all the speakers to blend. The same tweeter thru out the ht system is essential to getting the best integration.

Try your vr-1s as a center to test and see how well or poorly they match.

Krellm7 I speak with Kevin Malmgren of Von Schweikert Audio, the VP of engineering and design just about weekly.
Please share your knowledge and insight that "VSR(?sp- should be VSA)"only assembles speakers they do not design anything" statement. Also curious which model(s) VSA you've listened to "many times". Just curious.

SkClarey, I would suggest you pick up 3 LCR 15's for your fronts. Absolutely dynamite!

Krellm7 works for a dealer, and most likely a B&W dealer, he should be making that clear when he bashes a competitor (wrongly) so that everyone knows the real potential bias.

Me "bashing" speakers is in now way going to affect sales I just don't see how someone who makes speakers in his basement can maker a better speaker than B&W,paradigm,martin logan,dynaudio,vandersteen,magnepan,thiel the list goes on & on. Obviously you own Von Scheweikert's (sorry to hear that) so you will not want to hear the truth. Go out & listen to some live music sometime mabye you will learn how to listen.
