Great setup! The room looks very aesthetically pleasing and I'll bet the system sounds just as good. I've also heard nothing but rave reviews on the VR-1's, especially for their superb efficiency. Having a 15W integrated tube amp, I found it difficult finding speakers that would match well with such a small load. Eventually settled on the Energy C-3's and am very pleased with the sound.

Have you tried out any other speakers with the Cayin?
