mixing brands


Well, I know ad naseum this has been brought up,but allow me to ask anyway. I'm looking to change cable "brands" from Nordost to Kimber kable.
Do most of you folks have same manufacturer for spkr cables & interconnects? I would like to ultimately have all one "family" but prices dictate to first do the speaker cables--then as money permits--(ok-as wife permits) down the road I will get the icc as well. Any thoughts on mixing & matching at least for a while? thanks for reading..

I have a lot of experience with Nordost as a system and combined with other brands. (Although the last was before the "2" of the Norse and Valhalla range came out)

If your plan is to change to another brand I would certainly change the speaker cables first.

In most or almost all cases I had Nordost ic's worked fine with other brands of speaker cables but combining their speaker cables with other brands of interconnects did not work fine for me in all but a few cases.
