Question about DTS on Integra DTR 8.2
The receiver detects a DTS encoded source and decodes it. So if you have a receiver and DVD player with analog multi-channel inputs/outputs you can choose to have the DVD decode the DTS bitstream (send it analog to the receiver and have the receiv... 
Question about DTS on Integra DTR 8.2
You can use only the DVD DTS decoder if you have multi-channel analog outputs and use the multi-channel selection on your receiver. I have seen someone saying how bad it is to do this in other posts, but I do it for concert DVD's and it works fine. 
Von Schweikert VR4 jr in small room, any success?
Also make sure that you don't have the rear tweeter cranket up too high. 
$2K-$4K Integrated w/ HT Bypass?
Rbstehno,Your approach could be a problem for me since I travel a lot and would have to depend on my wife and kids messing with this amp in that way. It seems that having the bypass feature would actually be more safe for them. Of course, I could ... 
Von Schweikert VR4 jr in small room, any success?
I have found that mine can be particular and slight changes in placement can have a big effect. I left my points off so I could easily try different spots, toe-in angles, widths, etc. until I got it just right. What else are you using for equipmen... 
Putting Audio & HT on wall floor is $1000 sq ft
To be more accurate, you should look at the cost of the space over the life of asset, therefore, I would guess in NYC that you are actually making money on the space used by your equipment through appreciation.Also, the Von Schweikert VS/1 subs wo... 
Sonus Faber Grand Piano Sound Characteristics
SF has a good line of products and that includes the GPH. It is a good all around well balanced speaker that is very pleasant and fun to listen with and is a very good value at its price point. Hi Fi Buys (Tweeter), may still carry these and they ... 
Just upgraded to the DK VS-1 Signature
Made me think of my boss when I read those initial responses. 
B&W 804s or 703s?
I think what Henryk meant to say was if your going to be buying speakers, it makes sense to look at a variety of options at your intended budget level (mine always seems to shift up towards the end of this exercise). I did not find either of these... 
Barber Cafe Blue flaw?
Often times a buzz is helpful when listening, I guess not this time. 
$2K-$4K Integrated w/ HT Bypass?
Thanks for the responses! I am using Von Schweikert 4JRs with a Musical Fidelity A5 CDP. Room is about 17X24. Currently using Sunfire Ultimate Receiver which works well for HT. I feel like I need some decent power because of the dual duty of home ... 
Dedicated CD Player Recommendation
Check out Musical Fidelity A5 - if you liked the Jolida, you should really like this CDP. Retails for $2500. 
Are the Von Schweikert VR-4JRs really all that?
I have them and love em. I auditioned quite a few speakers in that price range and knew the first time I heard them that they were for me. The in home demo nailed it. The folks at VSA (Kevin and Albert) are great to deal with as well. 
Von Schweikert Subwoofers
I have it and love it for both HT and multi-channel music. As Peterd said, super fast. Blends perfectly with the rest of my VSA set-up.
