Sweet set up, love the big Vandy's. I just listened to them today at a local shop and they are just sublime. Although not cheap, they make you think anyone charging more is ripping you off, great speakers. I am sure they sound even better with the Cary Audio gear.

Enjoy, the last of the wine in that glass is looking good right now!!
