Monster Z2 or Monster M1.4s for biwire

I would go with whatever is the cheaper of the bunch. A high grade cable is a high grade cable to me. Both of those qualify as much better than average, so the safe bet is price. I am not a purist, so the absolute is not a factor for me.

As long as it isn't lamp cord, you are stepping up to new soundstage.

My .02, I don't think you'll notice a $26.00 difference. You will notice a difference when you add at least a few more hundred or more.

dmamsa,
Wanna Know???MOnster M series is a step up from Z series.Z series is in the clas of Monster Standard.Good quality cables but Mseries has more technology.Go get your read on and learn about the 2 different speaker wires and why one costs more then the other.
I personally own M1.4s bi wires and I feel they are great sounding wires.
You went the extra mile and bought LSI,why stop there?

Tell you what,here's what I would do,buy both,listen to both,which one sounds better????Keep that one.....return the other.

I thought that cables fell into the same category as Computer Software in that once it's opened, it's not returnable.........no?

check out Sound City, Jersey, dba as yahoo's AV Shopper. Great price!

Other recommendations? Yeah, check these...http://www.mitcables.com/products/shotgun.asp

dmamsa you will be happy with either cable. Im a Monster dealer & I have sold about equal amonuts of the m1.4 bi wire & the Z2 bi wires. I have have tried the 1.4 bi's on my system before purchasing the Z2's bi's. There wasnt a huge difference infact the difference was quite small. I like what the Z2 sounds like & have no complaints. The m1.4 was equaly as good & I borowed a friend / customers set for about a week. I too had a hard time deciding, but after talking to my Rep at Monster & reading reviews I went with the Z2's with master pin ends, w/ bananas on the receiver & spades on the speakers. I had Z1 prior to switching & the differnece from Z1 to the Z2 bi's are very noticible. If you were concidering the M2.4 bi's that would be a easy choice over the Z2 bi's. Remember the M series is monsters top consumer line not counting the sigma line, but within that line there are different grades. Right under the M series is the Z series, also with different grades. The M1.4 bi's are the mid range m series bi wires & the Z2 in the Z line is the Best Z series bi wire. Do you have any rear surrounds? If so what type of speaker cable are you using? Do you want your rear surrounds speaker cable/wire to match with your front? I have Z1 in 40' legnths to my rears so the Z2 bi's match well with the Z1 rears. click this link for pics of out system http://www.ezconnection.org/ezcsystem.htm
hope this helps. If you need cables let me know & I can give you a price on them.

ecz thanks for setting us straight on the different levels and the grades of bi wires from Monster. I own the Monster Z2's for my fronts. I can't imagine any cable sounding any better than these do. BUt i could be wrong.

Screw Monster Cable - I've owned them, and found better cable. Nordost is the best; however, the high end Nordost cable is tres expensive. I can vouch for Kimber and Cardas cables, too. I and others have found Monster Cable is smartly marketed and highly overrated; however, Monster Cable is at least better than lamp wire and the flimsy interconnects that come standard w/ most units. Go to Audiogon.com to get an idea of the better cables used on some nice systems.
