I have a similar but not identical system of speakers. I have the VR-4JRs, the LCR 15, and the TS-150s for 5.1. I use the Audyssey system in the Onkyo receiver plus tweaking with a RS meter. I have placed VR-1s as sides and like them better but am satisfied enough with the TS-150s to leave them in place. For most movie surround you will be happy. SACD and DVD-A is more demanding and the VR-1s sound better to me. The voicing of the speakers you mention will be very similar.
Von Schweikerts for HT: setup and combination.
Putting together a new dedicated HT. I have a pair of VR4 Srs (first edition) that I would like to use. I've already purchased a LCR4 as a center.
I have an Anthem D2V and P5, and Oppo 95.
The room is 16 x 28 ft, and still being worked on.
My questions:
1) Will the VR4 Sr (older version) pair well with the LCR4? Or is the older LCR15 a better match?
2) 5.1 or 7.1? (Leaning toward 5.1)
3) If 5.1, what are your thoughts about the better option: TS-150 as "sides", or what would you recommend for "rears"?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
