Harm. Tech. Pro9 or Anal. Plus Oval9


Has anybody compared these two? I'm trying to decide between a used set of the Harmonic Tech's or a new set of the Oval 9's- roughly the same price. My equipment is a Cary sli80 into Meadowlark Shearwaters, thanks, Jay.

Jay, I have owned both the HT Pro 9 and Analysis Plus Silver Oval. I prefer the HT to the AP. To me the HT is more neutral and truer. The AP as Gunbei has mentioned is state of the art in soundstage width, the HT is also excellent in soundstage width, without rolling off the top the way AP does. I would also characterize the HT as neutral to laid back compared to cables like Nordost SPM. Strange thing, I really like the HT speaker cable with my Dunlavy speakers, but was much less impressed with it on my Meadowlark Kestrels, same goes for the AP. If you have monoblocks and could use 1 or 2 sets (for biwire) of Harmonic Tech Pro 9 (4 foot spades) I have a couple of sets I could sell. You might also want to check into Acoustic Zen speaker cable, it is less expensive than HT and I've heard from others that is blows it away. I ordered a single set of their Satori speaker cable for my own system.
