I have owned both and both are amazing for their price. I sold my WOW's and still have the Matrix from pre/pre to amp. The consences is that the WOW is about 85% of the Matrix. The WOW lacks that ultimate extension in both bass and treble but it also has a slightly boosted midrange so this may work out wonderfully for your purpose, especially in a home theatre set-up. Obviously the WOW would save you a substantial amount of money, particularly in longer lengths. Unless you do a direct A-B between the two you probably wouldn't miss the slight difference.
The WOW factor in Acoustic Zen interconnects...
Does anyone know about the differences in performance levels using the Acoustic Zen WOW vs. their Matrix Reference cables?
I need very lengthy balanced runs (15 meters) and I could save a great deal of cash by using the WOW's which retail for almost 50% of the price of the Matrix Reference, but I'm concerned about what I may be giving up in performance. Their website describes both as being constructed of copper.
I would be replacing similar runs of Transparent Ultra RCA's.
Thanks in advance for your input. Gerry
