Nice article mallet....thats amazing....

IMHO, the only reason to use MC's is if you are using a projector in HD, or for broadcasting.

no there is really no reason to use MC over a cheaper just as shielded brand.... most people in the industry agree..

I thought that was the entire point of this thread. And was demonstrated by showing that they're no better than a coat hanger.

a guy here at work bought a new lcd tv, receiver, speaker system, and upconvert dvd player for christmas....

he dropped a good 3000 on it.

he spent close to 500 bucks on cables and speaker wire....incredulous...i showed him where he could of gotten it for less than 100..

www.cablesforless.com is a great resource. They sell high quality cables that are just as good as Monster at a fraction of the price.

that and monoprice.com are great sites..

I've never used monoprice but I've heard good things about them. I'll keep them in mind.

Everyone who's anyone in the home theater field knows Monster has been making their cables from recycled coat hangers for years. It's why they're so durable.

Monoprice.com is definitely the way to go.
