If you don't have a set of bi-wire speaker cables, the VR-1's single binding post design is a bonus. The metal jumper plates used in speakers with two sets of binding posts do not have good sonics. I question the necessity of two sets of binding posts on a $500 set of speakers. In all likelihood, those in the market for speakers of this caliber are not going to want to buy a second set of speaker cables for bi-wiring.
50 watts should be plenty for the VR-1's in an apartment. I would recommend checking out the Rega R1's if you have the opportunity to do so (they also use a single set of binding posts).
