I should clarify my original post. I have no torch to bear for Stealth. In fact, I have never heard them. I have read a number of detailed favorable comments about them and decided to take advantage of the current promotion to try them out. Unfortunately, Stealth's return policy doesn't apply to the promotional items, but I figure I can sell them pretty close to cost if I don't like them.I have owned HT ProSilway ICs and Pro9 Plus speaker wire and was not overly impressed. Highs were sterile and bass anemic. I have also listened extensively to Cardas Golden Reference and while it is enchanting, it was too recessed for my taste. Likewise, with Silver Audio Hyaline by-wire.
I have found Purenote Signature ICs and speaker cable to be superior to HT, particularly their biwire speaker cable which I am using with my Vandersteen 5s.
Out of interest, what level of HT and Stealth were you comparing to the Coincident cables? Coincident has only one level, HT has two levels of ICs and 3 levels of speaker cable, and Stealth has many different levels at numerous price points. The comparison would be more meaningful if you could identify the specific cables you were comparing.
Thanks
