Von Schweikert LCR-15 or B&W HTM2

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.

You would be best to go with the B&W for your front. It would be a better match in tone and balance to the front. That is of course that you will want to hold onto your 804's. To the remark by one that they did not see how someone who makes speakers in his basement can not make a better speaker then B&W and the likes. Most all highly reqarded products got there start in someones basement or small lab. It is the whole concept of building a better mouse trap. You don't have to grow your own oranges to sell good ones. By the by, I have both VSA and b&w speakers.

It is best to have your speakers all voiced the same there for I would recomend the HTM2.
