No, Monster is not the best brand whether you look at it from quality or excessive price. Monster is a marketing company that happens to sell cable (and other stuff) when it's not filing hundreds of trademark lawsuits against those such as little kids dressing up as monsters for Halloween. (See sig.)

I was as ignorant as most everyone else and bought their cables until I read stuff here ending with the link in my sig.. then I was completely disgusted with them. So yes, I 'have it out for Monster' as I would any other company that goes out of its way to hurt people.

I bought 2 Monster HDMI cables when I first bought into BD... And let me tell you something that should have been told to me before I bought them...


Monster is the Bose of cables... Overpriced and unnecessary. Look at Crackinhedz' sig.

He has a link that explains all about HDMI cables and why cheap ones are just as good as overpriced Monsters

i agree... Dont get me wrong, Bose does sound great. However, IMO they are overpriced for what they are. I honestly prefer a nice Polk, Klipsch, or B&W... again, IMO

B&W Mini Theater speakers are a steal at $1,500 compared to a $3k bose system!!! I was going to get them for the bedroom....but my wife would like me to take the T.V. out of the bedroom completely .....
