Monster Cable


Hello all.

Anyone using/tried/heard/prefer Monster's Sigma line of speaker cables and interconnects.
I would like to hear some of your opinions, comparisons, complaints, accolades, etc.

In specific, I'm talking between Monster's original Sigma ME2 compared to the newer Retrio Gold.

Thank you in advance.

I am not familiar with the Sigma line but at the price they ask, I would advise you to look elsewhere. My reason is if you ever want to sell them, the "Monster" name will either hinder the sale or force a greater depreciation in the audio market. Looking at their website a 1.5m pair is 750.00 MSRP for the Retro's, I just think that is a lot of money for a IC, not to look at many other brands. Just my opinion on Monster, they may be great, but I had never heard of them till today. See if they will let you do a 30 day MBG in home demo.
off the topic a bit here. I tried Acoustic Research Pro II RCA. After that my Kimber Hero, LAT, Cardass and whole bunch others just go to a secondary system. Best part is that it cost my $4.99 from Ebay. New from part express is $20. !!!!Save your money.!!!!!
Monster Cable reminds me of Bose...that is...they are both consumer driven rather than audiophile driven.
Is there anybody who has experience with these 2 cables that can provide a comparison? Preference? Difference?

Do appreciate the comments.
All seem to be honest opinions.

Sure would like to hear from those that have had experience with both Sigma cables.
Please don't be shy if you feel you may be the lone stranger.

I have both and would like to hear from others.

Thanks again all...
