Monster Cable


Hello all.

Anyone using/tried/heard/prefer Monster's Sigma line of speaker cables and interconnects.
I would like to hear some of your opinions, comparisons, complaints, accolades, etc.

In specific, I'm talking between Monster's original Sigma ME2 compared to the newer Retrio Gold.

Thank you in advance.

Shad, you're correct.
Isn't that what Edison said......'Invention is 99% marketing and 1% persperation'?
or something like that?

A must read on the subject are the letters exchanged by Monster and BJC which I'm hoping have reached 'legendary' status. Since the owner of BJC was a former intellectual property attorney, he knew EXACTLY how to answer Monster's letter. And I think he was spoiling for a fight.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
I checked the archives and there isn't much regarding any of the Monster Sigma speaker wires or ICs.

I guess with all that has gone down with Monster all these years has made audio enthusiasts a little leery of their stuff. The Monster website has the Retro Sigma Gold speaker cables listed at $2500 MSRP. For anywhere near that kind of money I'd look somewhere else.

I only bought Monster cables when they were very deeply discounted.
Sorry about that.

I'm hoping this is a better link to the Monster Sigma archive results.

If this link doesn't work the search in the forum archives I did was Monster Sigma and selected Match All Words from the drop down menu.
Hey Jedinite24,

Thanks for the input.
I have checked out those posts but weren't quite what I was looking for.

I would like hear about any differences between the Sigma Retro's & the original Sigma ME2's.
If anyone has had the opportunity to have listened to both.

Have had the original Sigma's for quite some time. Was just wondering if the Retro's were different in some way. Better. Worse. Same Same?

Have had Kimber, Analysis Plus, Cardas and some others, can't recall right now at my age, but kept going back to my original Sigma interconnects and speaker cables.
Maybe they're just so well broken in, over 10+ yrs., and I'm used to their sound???

Thank you...
