I've been a big fan of HT Pro-Silway (I have MKII's) and the Pro-9 bi-wire speaker cables. The Pro-Silways are detailed, they are essentially neutral , they are not forward or laidback... I have found that neutral IS the word. With this in mind the rest of your system can sometimes find them too extended and "un-sugar coated" if you have an especially revealing system. I am in a very similar situation as I have recently switched from very forgiving speakers to completely un-forgiving and I too was going to move up the HT line to the Magics (I or II depending on my wallet) to see if I could smooth out just a scant trace [on certain recordings only] of a bit too much information. After reading a lot of opinions I decided to put the Magics on hold and give a try to the Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref 2's and see if that might help. They're on their way to me as we speak but I'll need another week+ to break them in before I can fairly assess if they were a good choice or not. If not, there's always talk about the cardas and I might try the Magics, as first planned. BTW, the Pro-9 speaker cables are pretty remarkable in that they will transfer pretty much all the detail but somehow manage to instill a smoothness in the mix AND do it while throwing a deep and wide soundstage if the recording/rest of system can carry it. Good luck & happy Lissn'n.
