Mordaunt Short is distributed by Marantz, which explains why you often see the two brands paired. JBL and Harman Kardon are both owned and distributed by Harman International, which is why you see those two brands paired very often.

I've never seen the two other combinations you mentioned. And ideal combinations, that all depends on your personal taste, it's not a written rule that you should pair a Harman Kardon amp with JBL speakers for instance.

Hi Mandeep

I think there are probably a few reasons. The retailer may have deals with specific manufacturers or distributors, or they may be pairing two of their most profitable products together to give them more leeway where price is concerned. They may be looking to move stock which is nearing replacement, or they may have too much stock of particular products.

Some firms have preferences as to what their products are paired with, but I think it's unlikely that they'd refuse to supply retailers who didn't wish to follow their guidelines.

Fundamentally, though, I think the reasons you find 'item A' paired with 'item B' are driven, understandably, by retail considerations. By all means take your dealer's recommendations on board, but make sure you hear 'item A' with your choice of 'item B' before you part with any cash.
