            Funny actually. Where is Monster Cable's presence in the high end cable scene now? I never hear a word about their products anymore.

              Funny only place I've seen MC products are in the HT dept of Best Buy. So went to their website and practically nothing high-end. Mostly computer, phone, HT and headphone stuff.

              This is what I found for speaker cables. Then there's a warning not to buy counterfeit MC products. At that price who would counterfeit?

                That's how they make money Myles.

                Consider how many Best Buy stores there is.

                  I will say this. I had one of their power centres a few years ago and it saved my system from a really strong static charge I experienced. It shut everything off within a millisecond. If I didn't have that unit at the time who knows what damage that charge could have done.

                    There is significantly more money in the mass market (Best Buy) than in the audiophile market and the buyers are less fickle.

                      They used to make really nice power conditioners. I still use a Moster HTS2000. Those mostly seem to be gone now, too. My first "high end" cables were a 20 foot set of Monster Interlink 4 ($90) in 1983. They were way better than the $4 Radio Shack cables I had been using. Replaced them a couple years later with Kimber KC1. Still have those in a box somewhere.

                        I would say something, but I'm afraid I would get sued.

                        There was time Demian Martin was designing cables for them. Think that ended a long time ago though.

                          Didn't Bruce Brisson start them off? I thought he was the original designer of their cables.

                          Strangely enough, Demian is still doing a significant amount of consulting for Monster. For a long time, I owned Crosby modified Quads with two of Demian's Entec servo controlled subwoofers. What a wonderful match. Demian has also been instrumental in repairing the power supply for my Rockport which he designed for Andy Payor.
