4.0 out of 5 stars Good and strong, but no noticeable difference in sound, November 15, 2005

This review is from: Monster Standard THX-Certified Speaker Cable (100 Feet) (Electronics)

I used this Monster cable to replace an ordinary speaker cable that came with my Onkyo speaker system, mainly because I needed a longer cable. My ordinary human ears could not notice any difference in sound before and after. But the cable is strong and well shielded which made it more reliable when I had to pull it around the attic, down the wall gap and through rough holes. And, the price (despite all the hype) wasn't much more than what I was expecting to pay.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not any better than 16 gauge lamp cord, October 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Monster Standard THX-Certified Speaker Cable (100 Feet) (Electronics)

All availible double-blind testing indicates that differences between copper wire of the same gauge over the same distance is completely inaudible.

Monster Cable is no better than any other cable of the same gauge in terms of audibility, except in terms of Monster's marketing budget.
16 gauge stranded copper is more than enough for nearly any power draw over nearly any reasonable length of cable to any speaker.
Anyone who claims otherwise has never attempted to A/B speaker wire under double blind conditions.

Spend your budget on speakers and amplification and use the change in your couch to buy 16 gauge lamp cord at a hardware store. Anything more is a monumental waste of money.

Thus spake Julian Hirsch, and it is the truth.

1.0 out of 5 stars more Monster snake oil..., March 14, 2005

Monster Cable and its similarly overpriced imitators are a triumph of hype over substance, and ruthlessly exploits the consumer's naivete and trust in shady audio/video salespeople.

Yes, for most things you DO "get what you pay for"---but when it comes to speaker cables, interconnects, and other a/v wiring however it's another story.

All you need for optimal sound is any 12 to 16 gauge generic cable which you can buy at Home Depot for a fraction of the cost.

Save your money for things like speaker stands, which really do make a world of difference.
