Silverline Audio Minuet or other alternatives

I am looking for a 2ch system for my office. It will be mostly near field listening as the office is somewhat small so that is why I am looking into monitors. I head read very good things about the Silverline Minuet so I contacted them but unfortunately they don't have a dealer in my area but I could still purchase directly from them with a nice discount.

Rega P1 vs. Rega P2

I'm building a new system and just got some Infinity Beta 50s. I'm looking to stick to a certain budget but I'm willing to have a some wiggle room in order to get something a little better. Which is why I was wondering, if the difference in the P1 and P2 justified me spending the extra money.

Also, a side question, what would be the best way to connect my video stuff to my speakers, if I wanted to.

DTS vs Dolby Digital

I am confused to read the following in a review of the Toshiba DVD HD-XA2 I was considering purchasing.....

"The HD-XA2 takes a slightly different tack. Instead of transcoding to DTS, it converts the signal to Dolby Digital 5.1 at that format's maximum bit rate of 640 kb/s. This is arguably inferior to the DTS method (Dolby advocates would disagree), but ensures greater backwards compatibility.
