The SR2 was better than SR1 in my system. I think the Matrix 2 was also a significant improvement over 1 and much closer to the SR2. You may not like SR2 if you didn't like SR1. Maybe you should stay with copper.
The Au24 IC first replaced the SR2 from source to linestage providing a more natural sound and then replaced SR2 to the amp.
The Au24 speaker cable costs a little more than Satori and well worth it in my system. After replacing the Satori for a month with the Au24 and then going back, it was obvious. As much as I like the Satori, I could also say they sounded veiled by comparison. A couple other adjectives come to mind, but suffice it to say the Au24 are staying for now.
There must be something to this zero crystal technology, because both AZ and Audience have great products.
