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'm waiting for a pair of VAC Standard 90 mono blocks to arrive. Albert has paired VAC equiptment with his speakers
at CES. Kevin Hayes of VAC is very enthusiastic about the JR'S with the mono blocks. I'll weigh in when I get things set up. I have Silversmith wire all around. Before this latest upgrade I had been using an integrated ASL and things sounded pretty darn good with the JRS.
