Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?


I just got a new pair and I am wondering what amp would be best. I have a Cary SLP-98F1 as a pre and currently using a V12 to drive them. I have a BAT VK-200 as a spare and I am going to hook it up this week end, to see how it sounds with the SLP.
I originally heard the VR's driven by NuForce 9.02 mono's, they sounded fantastic. They were in a treated HT room, which is totally diferent than my space. Right now before break in they sound good but I get don't get close to the sound I heard in the demo room(of coarse I never do). I can only come out about 1 1/2 ft. from the front wall, so I'm pretty sure that is where I lose a lot of the spatiousness.
I am curious to see what other VR4jr owners are using and what they have heard elsewhere.

I am now using a 10 watt (20 at 4 ohm) amp whose power supply is a 12V battery. Drives the JR's no problem to moderate listening levels. That said I have come to the conclusion that the JR's are just too big for my room. The overall dimensions of my room are fine for the JR's but given where I have to put them they just do not have enough room to breathe. I have begun to look for smaller speakers and will be selling my pair. While I have had JR's for 2 years now, I have only had this pair for 2 months (recent production - zip 48067).
No doubt about that, Tvad. I may be just a little crazier than the next guy about this hobby, and trying stuff out. ;)
Blindjim,
Thanks for your reply. I tried an experiment tonight, just hooking up cables to the upper pair on the woofer module - No sound.
I don't think that you are doing anything by hooking up cables to these posts. They're just not connected to any drivers, I believe.
Can someone please prove me right or wrong?
BTW, I walked into my room tonight to find one of my M/T modules on the floor! Only minor damage - Must have been my dog tangled in the cables. BooHoo
