It fits right smack dab in the very center of HT's loudspeaker cable product line, and is their best all copper, single crystal formulation. The bi-wires are connected at the amplifier and are two separate lengths of low pass and high pass cable for most of its 8 foot length. They are terminated with top notch spades at the amplifier, spades for the low pass leg, and locking bananas for the high pass leg. All strands of the 6 nines pure copper are floating in Teflon tubes with air dielectric. They require about 100 hours of break-in for top performance, but sound very musical right out of the box. They sell for about $1330 in this aforementioned configuration. None of this prepares you for the performance of this very moderately priced wire …priced less, all in all, than most single meters of the ultra famous audiophile stuff.

What if I told you it sounded more realistic, harmonious, and extended than Kimber Silver Select Speaker Cable at 400% MORE $$'s? What if I told you I had $20k worth of high end exotic speaker cable gathering dust in my closet as a result of hearing the Pro-9 Reference? I understand from Jim Wang, CEO of HT, they built into this cable everything they have learned about pure copper formulations and windings since they went into business. I hear this and am very impressed. HT has created the most colorless, continuous, organic all copper cable in their history or maybe anyone's history. What a bargain! The Pro-9 Reference now makes it possible for nearly every audiophile to maximize their amp/speaker relationship without spending more for the cable than they spent on the speakers!

I've had experience with all kinds of exotic metal combinations for speaker cables and have settled on 100% copper as my all time favorite. Both of my reference systems are wired in all copper. I don't understand how HT can market this very serious and complex cable so inexpensively compared to others that cost so much more and sound very similar. That's unimportant. What is important is that this new addition to the HT line is a sonic overachiever and an involving sounding cable all around.
