I have the VP100 matched with M22s. I think the CC matches perfectly. I've always had this little voice in the back of my head telling me that the M22s are good, but could be better. I am probably in the minority in this opinion, but I'm going to say it, anyway. As impressed as I was with the M22s when I first purchased them, I was more impressed with the VP100. Maybe it was the fact that the CC was so small in size, but yet performs so well.
