The VR4jr's have a rear facing tweeter and placing them up against the wall is going to really compromise them. There are a few companies that make speakers that are ment to be placed against the wall, but I can't think of them off the top of my h... 
What are the best subwoofer plate amps....
Check out Rythmik audio. I built a subwoofer based on their 350SE servo kit. Pretty impressive. I'd rank it up there with the big subwoofer from Rel. Also, Brain is very knowledgable and offers great support. They offer a lot of bang for the buck....

I owned a pair of the Swans. They don't really require a sub, but they are pretty big. The wife said that they took up too much desk space so I moved on.
