I have owned two pairs of M-1000i (in fact still have one) as well as Monster M1mkII speaker cables.
They are truly great Cables. Yes, they are on the warm side (like most Cardas) of neutral - but many of us need/want exactly that. In the right system they can give a full-boddied sound, big soundstage, fine palpability and vocals, bass energy and slam ... I've compared many cables with them (even much costlier) but non of them could justify the price difference.
Listened to them with solid state and tube equipment and they never dissapointed.
There are BETTER and more "modern" cables today but these Monsters stay a very option good IF you or your system need "warmer" cables.
