Monster Standard THX-Certified Speaker Cable - 50 ft. 16ga. Speaker Cable Review

Monster Standard THX-Certified Speaker Cable - 50 ft. 16ga. Speaker Cable

I picked this up from my local electronics store (because I didn't want to wait for shipping). 30ft spool covered my center channel and bi-amp'ed mains, and 50 ft easily wired my surrounds. Never hurts to get extra, too.
Pros:
-It's very reasonably priced, for "name-brand" cables.
-It's "THX" certified (not sure that it really matters for speaker wire?!)
-I was able to tell the difference between "red" and "black" (the labeling is consistently on only one wire).
Cons:
-It was surprisingly tough for me to strip & crimp the wires (tip: try setting strippers for 14ga. wires)
-It's not very easy to tell "red wire" vs "black wire"
-It probably costs extra for the THX name
Neutral:
-The wires claim to be directional (I realized after I "mis-routed" one surround) - but they're wires. They work whatever way you tell them to.
All that being said, they are just regular, generic speaker wires. Not the fanciest, but nothing really bad about them, either.

This cable is just as good as many sub-$10 options. There is no reason to pay this much for any cable EVER.

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.

Monster MC 1000HD-1M RT Ultra-High Speed Right Angle HDTV HDMI Cable (1 meter) Review

I bought this for its 90 degree end, as I have a wall-hung Panasonic V10, and the straight cables were bent against the wall. I know there are adapters available, but I didn't want to run one. Many argue that there is no difference in transferred signal between something like this cable and lesser-priced cables. I'm not here to comment one way or the other. I'll only say that the construction quality of this cable is significantly better than a $7 cable, and a $30 cable that I own. It also carries Monster's lifetime replacement coverage, which means if technology advances to the point of obsoleting this cable, they'll replace it. Don't care too much about that, but it's a bonus.
For applications where clearance is an issue, I highly recommend it.
