Hi guys,
Thanks for the additional feedback--I appreciate it!
I have to correct something I said in my previous post above. I was incorrect about what The Cable Company recommended for my set-up. It was not AQ that was the "warmer" cable, it was Kimber. They actually recommended AQ or Analysis Plus (which is too expensive anyway), as well as Kimber if I wanted something on the warmer side. If I wanted neutral, which is what I am looking for, AQ would be the way to go. Sorry for the confusion... and for confusing myself.
I had spoken to John Rutan a while back on matching another piece of gear with the Vandys. I gave him my budget concerns and he suggested I find some of the older AQ CV-4 speaker cable. I did find some and still have it in storage. In fact, I have enough of it to make a bi-wire run on each speaker. When I got the Krell integrated, I did send him a quick note asking if the CV-4 was still good to use with the Krell and I think he still recommended it, but I will have to check my old emails.
As for interconnects, what AQ XLR's are good that will match well the the Krell integrated and cd player? I found a pair of used AQ King Cobra's in XLR for $70. Are they any good? If I recall, when I had spoke with John R. about interconnects (RCA) he recommended Red River or Mackenzie. Anyone compare these to the King Cobra's? Any other AQ suggestions?
