Acoustic Zen Speaker Cables

Zen offers a 30 day trial. I suggest you take advantage of this and give them a go. You need to decide for yourself. Nobody can tell you how they work because your idea of sound may be entirely different than someone with the exact same equipment.

I have used the Satoris and the Hologram (I now use the Hologram), and can confirm that both are some of the finest speaker cables I have used. They are extremely revealing, with an expansive soundstage. I switched to the Hologram after switching from bi-wiring to single wiring. You cannot go wrong with either of them. I previously used the Synergistic Resolution Reference, and the AZ was a big improvement. Also, Robert Lee, the designer and owner of AZ, is a great guy.

I am currently using AZ Hologram Bi-wire with my Merlin VSM. Extremely happy with them. Since the VSM is a 2 way speaker, the Hologram would be a better fit then the Satoris.

The Acoustic Zen Holograms are great speaker cables, I also have a pair of Harmonic Tech. Pro-9's that are good cables for less money that are almost as good. The designer of the Zen's may have also had a hand in the design of the Harmonic Tech's, not sure about that though.

I like the AZ holograms, but preferred the Au24 and Purist Venustas in my system (they cost a bit more, but you may be able to get them used within your budget). Of course, results are system and ear dependent. I used the AZs between a spectron amp and VSA Vr 5 HSE's, listening mostly to rock, jazz and funk. I thought they were airy and had good range but I preferred the others, which, to my ears, seemed to have more clarity.
