Vandersteen 2ce and McCormack floor models...

I have just received my Vandersteen 2ce speakers (took four months!!).. The shop where I bought the speakers has a McCormack set up consisting of the UPD-1 universal cd player,RLD preamp and the DNA125 amp. It sounds good. I gather from the forums here that Vandersteen and McCormack is a good marriage. Was wondering if these models are ok for the vandersteens and if he is selling these floor models, what kind of a price reduction is to be expected? Any suggestions for cables is appreciated as well.. he is using ?? but they cost 1500$. series named after vikings or something. sorry to be vague about that.

I've owned Vandy 1c's, 2ce's and now 3a's. I've used MANY amps with them (check out my system for a partial list) including McCormack DNA .5 and DNA 1, although never a 125. I like McCormack amps a lot and think they are a great bargain, but I'm now using a Belles 150A Reference and there is simply no comparison. On the used market you should be able to find a Belles for close to the same price as a 125 and it's definitely worth checking out.

Cheers
