seafarer Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hey 007, Glad to see you ordered a SWS, I know you will enjoy it. Hope to be reading your report when you fire it up. I won't be getting one until some time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Blank Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Whats this monster cable crap I keep hearing about? Better cables? Oh, and does the SWS play the song "get low" by "lil john" with authority? My 4.1's absolutely SING with that song... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 I would assume, I'll tell you when the stupid thing gets here. I'm going to test it with the 2's 4's and ultras. The monsters are on the klipsch site. I would not recommend them for the 5.1's unless you had some money to burn. However the 4.1's come with really crappy 22 gauge wires. I would HIGHLY recommend getting 4.1 monster cables. 50 bucks tho That goes for 2.1s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanderF Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 You realize you can run into any local Radio Shack and pick up 12-gauge insulated copper speaker cable at about $0.99/foot, right? That'll be at least as good as Monster cable, and a fair site cheaper, to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetePixxx Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I know this may be too much to ask but here goes... The $.99/ft cable at Radio Shack is as good as "which?" Monster cable? I've seen that for the bass cable is very heavy. For reference MonsterCable.com says: <<<<< Eliminating Subwoofer Noise is a Tough Job, Even for a High Performance Cable Subwoofers often emit buzzes and hums that get louder as you increase the volume. And, the bass often sounds distorted, less powerful and precise than what you'd hear in a movie theatre. Most cable, even if it's a high performance cable, isn't designed for subwoofers. They can't reject the electromagnetic (EM) and radio frequency (RF) interference that causes common subwoofers buzzes and hums. In fact, they often attract noise, especially over longer cable runs. If you are using a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound processor, the noise severely compromises the performance of the unit's dedicated Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel, so you're not getting all the bass performance that's possible. Monster's MSB1000SW Maximizes Subwoofers Performance & Reduces Noise Monster's advanced TriPole construction features three high purity conductors tightly twisted in a unique helical configuration, which greatly reduces the sensitivity to magnetic noise sources like power transformers and power cords. >>>>> But who would put $500 of cable on a $400 system and expect a $900 system? In perspective, I'm expecting $60 a set of Monsters is probably a good speaker price/cable price ratio. And I assume Klipsch has selected the correct balanced Monsters that make their speakers sound the best. ---------------- On 12/20/2003 10:00:03 PM XanderF wrote: You realize you can run into any local Radio Shack and pick up 12-gauge insulated copper speaker cable at about $0.99/foot, right?
