It may have to do with the brand mix that retailers tend to cary. The Vandy dealer near me also sells Audio Reseach. That is their choice for a ultimate high end system, so allot of people end up getting this match. A good match it is, imo. I don't own Vandys (but would if i could own them all) , but would not want anything other than Audio Research.
Funny u mention Mac and S-Faber (Sumiko)- those have become Magnolia Hi-Fi brands that are mainly sold to yo-yos who took out giant home mortgages and went shopping for the most expensive thing at the local mall down the street. Not really the best sounding, but non the less, two brands that get hooked up allot.
