It's actually three. You left out one for the pugs to pee on.

Actually 4.

For me: A pair of 2.3TLs.

For the pugs: One Bose to pee on and one Klipsch to **** on.

The single biggest problem with Monster ICs (especially the “higher end” ones) is the fact that they suffer from significant under-spec in their dimensions, which leads to ridiculously tight connections, and ultimately costly damage. I can’t tell you how many RCA jacks I have replaced for people over the years, due to the shields being pulled free of the gear with the interconnect cable. In every single case, it was Monster Cable. Every one. I know you can just jamb the shield back over the Jack and hope for the best, but to fix it correctly, you need a new RCA block that meets spec, and it needs to be soldered to the PCB.

I can’t tell you already hear folks saying “…you need to remove them gently, and “twist” as you pull them free…”. Yea, ok - OR, Monster could spec their ends correctly (like virtually every other cable manufacturer) so that this damage didn’t occur in the first place.

I've reached the point where I can't afford the speakers that would outperform the ones I have.
