The coat hangar won't have the noise rejection capabilities of the others and doesn't look quite as good. That is why I would recommend getting Knukonceptz. Good quality, looks great, sounds as good as any other copper and best of all, it's uber affordable for the quality of materials.
If you want to spend a lot of money on speaker wire and patch cables, do so for material quality and showiness. If you are doing it for sound quality, your priorities are in the wrong place. Oh, I suppose if you think it sounds better, appeasing your mind is a good reason, as well. Just don't tell me your wiring makes your system sounds better.
Always remember this, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and this is something you won't be able to find. (there are exceptions like MIT patch cables that intentionally alter the signal but I can't fathom how a person could logically argue that the response is more accurate by intentionally changing it.
The bottom line is that if your system makes you happy, more power to you and you should highly recommend the equipment you own from personal experience. Don't start making claims of sonic superiority that isn't there, and if you do, make sure you back it up with a little more than "Monster Cable spends a lot of money on marketing...err....research!"
allow me to condense and simplify this for you.
there's nothing wrong with monster cables. but if you think they make your system sound better (i.e. hearing dildo roll her tongue around) then there is something wrong with you.
