Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?

Interestingly enough I had a pair of ancient modified MC-60's driving my Vandersteen 2C's in the early 90's and this comboover the Threshold S200 ss amp it replaced. Musically involving and never wanting, forgiving? yes, so what it didn't matter because I found that I wasn't wanting for more. Although it wasn't perfect it was quite satisfying. I lived with this combination for several years until I moved and had a different issue with the room which I couldn't resolve with any combo. A different room made the difference but it was to late, by that time the Vandy's were long gone.

I couldn't agree with G917 more, it most certainly is a matter of preference. I see no reason why this combo wouldn't work with a given personal preference.

A dealer in my area used to sell Vandy's and McIntosh and they sounded great together

I have a new pair of Vandersteen 2ce Signature II that are being driven by an old MC2100 and let me tell you, I t sound so musical and better staging. Vandersteen and Mac. seems to be made for each other.

Now I added one more MC 2100 and bothe are set o mono 210wpc (bridge) and let me tell you, the sound is just amazing , the two MC2100 really woke up the Vandersten, as in so much cleaner and detail, the bass is more deeper now. All I can say is that the Mac. and the Vandys. Are a perfect match

Who you calling nobody?

Mc 7150 two amps bi-wired to 3A sigs, sound wonderful and warm when fed through old school Mc PrePro. Feels like you are there.
