Just curious, what is the point of using "monster" cable thet I hear about?
I guess for simple home applications, it wouldn't matter.

Thanks, Cave C.


It doesn't matter for ANY system if the size is adequate which means
14ga is plenty for 99.9999% of all systems.

So you all are saying that this would be a waste of money? ;-)

No. What's a waste of money is what was spent on food, shelter, clothing
and education on someone stupid enough to purchase snake-oil like that.

monster cable has superior sonic clarity. (bull****)

one system i hooked, 22,500 watts RMS i used 12 gauge wire,
but not monster cable. here is an example of a system that
needed slightly thicker wiring from 6 amps into 24 speakers.
your system don't need that.

Great information, dispells the rumors about big wire. With my system, 100
watts+ per speaker, woofer about 250 watts, it sounds excellent with the
existing wire. Very revealing about speaker wire myths.

FWIW, with a total power CONSUMPTION (according to Sony's spec sheet)
of 160 watts, the power OUTPUT figures are grossly
overinflated. : ) Your current wiring is more than adequate, I'm
sure.

i have never seen a sony amp product with overstated output
specification.
and i have measured true RMS with the proper test equipment.
but i might not like the way sony sounds compared to others.
however sound (truly) is in the ear of the beholder and nowhere else.

It ain't in the wires, and that's a fact.

Right. This from the guy that doesn't know the difference between
Dolby Digital, and THX.
