Harmonic Technology vs Acoustic Zen Recomendations


I have done a lot of research into both companys’ interconnects. I realize the best way to make a decision after thorough research is to audition within my system. I would like to have some discourse on the HT Pro Silway II vs. the Matrix Reference, and possibly the Silver Reference.

I am looking to determine which interconnect will MOST LIKELY sound best with good solid state electronics (Kenwood L-02T tuner and L-02A integrated amp and Denon DCD-1650AR player) and Thiel 3.6 or Vandersteen 4A speakers (for those unfamiliar with the L-02A, it is on par with some of the very best with a dampening factor of 10,000). I know everything is relative, but surely some comments could come forward as to the best likelihood of sonic bliss on a budget with regard to these ICs. With both cables having their origin from Robert Lee, they may be more alike than different. What might be the differences? TIA, Jason

I have both the HT Pro-silway MKII as well as the AZ Matrix. Conclusion, HT Pro-silway is now doing surround duty while AZ Matrix takes over the front left and right. AZ is much, much smoother and more dynamic with at least an octave lower in the bass region while the midrange is pure and just so right. The highs are detailed without the edge and harshness of Pro Silway. Actually, HT sounded anemic compare to the Matrix. I cannot imagine anyone preferring the Prosilway over the Matrix especially after a thorough comparison. Easily worth the $100 retail more for the AZ. Go for it!
