Well I don't know if this goes along with anything...and take this as you may...
But my friend's system he was running the Monster Subwoofercable and Y adapter to his B&W Sub. I don't remember which model cable, so I can't speak for it, but it was a tanned color, definitely on the higher end side of monster cable.... But anyways, I ordered and SVS sub and bought the BetterCables cable and he was wanting a longer cable (incase of moving the sub at some point), so I got him a bettercables cable as well. Well, all we did was switch the cable and when we checked the calibration on the sub, it was 3db hotter than it had been. The only thing we did was change the cable, so we changed it back to the MonsterCable and it was at it's normal calibration level. Put the BetterCables Subwoofer cable back on and it again got 3db hotter. I can't really explain that...but maybe there is truly a difference when it comes to shielding and what not with subwoofer cables...?!!?
All in all, I don't think I will ever get a MonsterCable unless I get a massive discount, the BlueJeansCables are just the same quality and a far cheaper price. I can't warrant any reason to buy Monster. Though like I said, if you work for a BestBuy or someplace and can get the $50 monster cable for $20, then it's definitely worth it! But they are almost the "Bose" of audio cables...except their products are good. lol Sorry couldn't resist that.
