amazing how people start spatting out the brands they own when a question like this is asked.

I'll give you the best piece of home audio advice I or anyone on here can give you..
STAY THE &#$%&^#! AWAY FROM BOSE!! If you buy Bose you've simply been a sucker for marketing.
Also stay away from Monster Cable.. not because their product is bad. Just grossly overpriced and overhyped.
