Shame that you don't have a larger room, as they really open up when moved out from the wall. I suggest that you use some type of sound absoption panel behind each speaker against the wall. Sick some large couch pillows there & it will give you an idea. You might also try to pull them out an extra 1.5-2 ft and toe them in more, either of these could make a nice change to overall sound. I've had them for more than a year and can suggest that you load with 25-35lb of lead shot in each,biwire, & use the spikes.Mine have sounded excellent with both Wolcott p220 & Van Alstine 550exr. Good luck,they are great speakers.
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.
