Your 2.2 Monster cables are all you will ever need. Best bang for the buck. I don’t agree that there would be much improvement switching to better jumpers over the metal strips either. You can try it but I doubt it will sound better. It might even sound worse. Your speaker crossovers have circuit boards and what connects the components on the circuit board are similar to the metal strips designed to be there by the speaker designer. Good speaker wires get the signal from your amplifier to your speakers without degrading the sound or at least with the best compromises. That’s their only job. The Monster 2.2 accomplishes that as good as anything you will find. Once the signal arrives to the speaker terminals then the sound quality that you hear is up to the quality of your speakers. Speakers are designed to sound a certain way by the designer so I wouldn’t change a thing in them unless recommended by the speaker designer as an upgrade. Just like amplifiers you have to give your wires time to burn in with your system to sound their best. You should try the Monster M1000i interconnects to connect your other components. They work well with the Monster speaker wire you are using and are designed with the same technology and that will help you achieve synergy in your system.
Anyone still using monster M2.2S cables (the really fat ones )
Ive been playing with my power cables lately after picking up a Hydra. Have been trying a few different speaker cables but I keep going back to the old thick monster cable. Running upgraded Odyssey Monos with tube preamp and Dunlavy SC IV speakers. Sources= mostly digital but also a few records now and then. Room is treated and been tweaking it for the last 4 years. I tried Groneburg,mid range nordost and cardas speaker cables. Interconnects are all high end Groneburg. Curious what the Audiogon community thinks on the Monsters.
