    i think most people here are not big fans of the monster cables (do a search for that). Also there is some debate to the whole bi-wiring and whether or not it is worth it (search that too). I think what bi-wiring comes down to is personal prefrence.

    Signal Cable is good cable that is much better than monster, from my brief experience. it's hand made by frank. I got some for my fronts that really made a huge difference for the better, didnt for my rears due to cost so im just running some standard 12 awg to the rear.

    and its complicated because there are too many options.

    I have some monster gear and its just under par with all my other stuff. Don't draft the check until your satisfied with your research. Please take time to enjoy the good reading in the cable swap program.

    im not saying moster cable is bad, i have a few random cables for connecting things. i think for the money there is better though. just my opinion. everyone's ear hears things differently and thats why there are debates about what is good.

    The amount of money your willing to spend on monstercable, I believe you can do better then that. Nothing wrong with Monstercable and if you can get great deals on there stuff well thats hard to beat.

    If you want better performance and are willing to spend a few pennies more let me make to following suggestions.

    Kimber Kable makes killer speaker wires. For your speakers I suggest the 4pr 4pr bi wires. For the rears I would use KWIK 16.This is wonderful inwall speaker cable and will provide great sound quality for your rear speakers. No need to run the same wire as up front to the rears.Just wire thats not going to change the sonics of the signal or run them like the fronts will. You can however use the same wire as up front but could be very costly for not much gain.

    Interconnects I suggest you use the PPj's and Timbres.These interconnects are excellent sounding and are well built. Again nice level for the kind of speakers you own.

    Good luck,
