In terms of engineering, there are numerous better cables than Monster cables - and they are definitely well worth it - IF, and only IF you spent some $$$ on better quality speakers. Quality cables help you realize the potential great sound of great speakers. Audioquest is considered very good cabling. I had my Theater pre-wired with Audioquest I know most consider Monster Cable to be over-hyped and overpriced & I tend to agree. However, a local audio/video store is going out of business and all Tired: $42.99 isn't cheap for a cable (especially when many dock manufacturers throw in a 3.5mm mini plug cable for free); the Hydra is significantly bulkier than that free mini plug cable.

I gig almost every weekend and have had no problems in the least from any of them. They seem to produce a good sound IMO, and have definitely been durable so I can't comment on the return policy. Later, in the "how to get a replacement" section, it says you must first call Monster Cable Products, Inc. and obtain a claim form, then mail it with the defective product, proof of purchase, and a written description of the problem. Upon receiving the package, Monster will inspect the product and repair or replace. M 1000v is another super product from Monster Cable. Mr.Lee has done it again. This product is a great improvement over copper offerings in this space, and at $70.00 a pair, they are a true value. My Sony WEGA KV32FS12 works well with M 1000v, and also with their M 350i audio cables. In a nutshell, a great value from Monster Cable in this space. Obsolete infrastructure has rapidly diminishing value. More coax cables in your home increase the fire load, for what it is worth. Best solution is always conduits or chases that can be used for a properly managed cabling plant. Plaster/drywall work is reasonably inexpensive for short hops in a home. 60. I was wondering how much of a difference monster speaker wire XP makes a difference. It was like $35 for 50 ft at best buy, which means it will prob cost close to $100 to wire my system when i hook it up. als the guy at best buy was shilling a Monster Digital Fiber Optic Cable and Monster Bass 300 for the subwoofer. .

is monster cable worth it
