    I think Noel Lee is the head monster....

    their Signaure series carries his signature. you can tell a signature series unit.. it has blue LED lights. the non sig series.. has red LED's.

    that's about all I know of Monster components. sorry

    Richard Marsh...

    Just a shot in the dark based on the last name

    But that could be someone tied in with Marsh amps, possibly?

    And if you speak of Monsters new amps...

    A couple of members here did a shoot out with it against Adcoms TOTL 2 channel amp I believe and the Monster won by a good margin I believe...

    go to www.monsterpower.com and you will find the answer to your questions. I own a HTPS 7000 signiture series power conditioner and a MPA3250 signature 3 channel amp. The amp is built like a tank weighing in at 94 pounds and preforms superbly and is sonically excellent.It replaced a Rotel rmb1066 Iwas using to drive my front 3 speakers. You can find them new on E-bay at a very reasonable price. I have had to deal with Monster twice and their cust. service is fantastic.

    Looks like you have an agenda, 4 posts in 3 threads, a few dredged up from 2 years ago and 3 of the 4 about that asshat and his products.
    Some people are complaining about Monster having law suits filed against any other company using " Monster" in their names, but I dont know why they care. Doesn't concern me one iota.

    Before we start praising Monster amps......let's just realize that particular shoot-out was mostly someone's opinion. I've heard good things about Richard Marsh and generally good things about the Monster sig. series performance.

    Statements like the above is how internet opinions get perpetuated and before you know it it becomes an undisputable fact. Do your homework, research and get your hands on a unit and decide for yourself. There are a couple people here on the forum that own them, perhaps they'll chime in.

    Not trying to start an argument or take anything away form the discussion, but lately it seems strong opinions are taken as undisputable facts. That's a dangerous trend. :)
