Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?

Denmaqn, I use Crystal clear Audio Cable for interconnect and get excellent result. Go to this site: http://crystalclearaudio.com/ and talk to Mel the owner 909-856-8153. You can also read on his excellent reviews. Highly recommended.

I think Lrsky probably hit it pretty well.

SOme combos are just not as likely to appeal as others.

ALso, I do not recall every seeing a dealer that actually carried both lines. I've seen may Mc dealers over teh years, and a couple vandy, including one local current, but never both together that I can recall for whatever reason, probably just chance.

Mc tends to be sold in more mainstream shops with some snob appeal whereas VAndy is more of a blue collar workhorse type line in general I would say.

When I owned Mac gear, I preferred "fast" cables like the Kimber (KCAG).or , for a much more expensive option, Stealth Indra. I found that Cardas, kubala and other cables that are not as fast but tend to reproduce great tonal characteristics were not as complementary IMHO.
