Acoustic Zen is an American company based in California, founded and led by the designer Robert Lee. It began as a cable company and became known for interconnects and speaker cables such as the Satori, Hologram, Absolute Copper and Silver Reference, built from high-purity, long-crystal copper and silver conductors with carefully chosen insulation. Acoustic Zen cables gained a reputation for natural, smooth and open sound at prices well below many high-end rivals. The company then moved into loudspeakers, with models such as the Adagio and Crescendo, which were well received in the American hi-fi press for their coherence and musicality. Acoustic Zen also makes power cords and digital cables. The company remains small and designer-led, and its products are aimed at listeners who want high-end performance without the most extreme prices. Its cables have been used by many reviewers as reference products, and its speakers have earned a following among listeners who want natural, unexaggerated sound.
