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 heard the Channel Islands D200/VR4jr rig at the HE2006 show last weekend and it blew my away. I and a number of others thought it was one of the best sounding rooms there. Jum Wang from Harmonic Technology was there and I asked him which of his speaker cables they were using - he laughed and said the Pro-11s, they wanted to keep everything inexpensive.

I am totally lusting for a pair of the 200s to put on my VR2s - OK, lets be honest, I am totally lusting to trade up to the Jrs LOL
