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.

Mfsoa is correct, the bottom posts of the woofer cabinet are connected to the 2 woofers (in parallel).
The upper posts of the woofer cabinet connect to the umbilical jack only. With the binding post jumper plates installed, this allows you to use a single pair of cables (and the umbilical) to run the entire speaker.

We've found the best method is to connect your main cables to the upper cabinet, and use heavy jumpers from there to the woofer binding posts. This allows the purist connection from amplifier to mid & tweeter, and you eliminate the supplied umbilical and the jumper plates at the binding posts.
