Can't say I've compared them so this reply may be worthless but I've been using both H/T I/C's and spkr cables for over 10 years and tried various other I/C's now and then but I've always been pleased with both the Pro-9 and pro-11 spkr cables...they both have always appreciated the improvments in I/C's as I moved up through the pro-silway line until my current "all Majic 2" cables... I simply find H/T a tremendous over-achiever for the money with a wonderfully musical overall balance... Good luck..
