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.

If you are interested in a v. impressive, rather rare VS sub (VR S/3), pls send me an email msklein52@comcast.net.

For a good while, I had 4JR fronts with a VS/1 sub, LCR15 center, and VR-1 for rears in a 5.1 system (still have everything except the 4JRs) in a similarly sized room. This set-up works very well for HT and I don't think that going to 7.1 would be that big a deal. I am not directly familiar with the LCR4 but I really enjoy the LCR15, it amazes me time and again.

I have a similar set up, VR4 first edition rebuild with vanderrsteen center and 2 x surrounds plus vandersteen SW I am very happy with 5.1. Also have the OPPO95 and still like good 2 channel with the XLR setup but still struggling to get 5.1 through 6channel RCA from the OPPO. The cable box with tos link works fine 5.1. The VR's are fantastic speakers in my opinion and would also want to try to fit them in.

I appreciate everyone's response, which confirmed my plan of going with a 5.1 arrangement, and TS-150's as "sides".

I will followup in the future concerning the matching of the LCR4 (center) with the VR4 Sr's (older version).

Again, thanks for you responses.
