Found Monster cables inside my Watt Puppy 5.1's

I finally got around to repairing all four blown woofers in my Wilson 5.1's (I still can't figure out how I could have blown them. Could using them with a 40 Watt integrated Proton amp and having the power accidentally turned on with the volume way up cause that?). As I took out the original woofers, I was shocked to see that one of the wires connected to the speaker was yellow and had "Monster Cable" written on it. I couldn't believe it. First, I thought Monster Cable was considered only for mid-fi products and Second, I thought Wilson only used Transparent cabling (it does for the Puppy Tail anyway). Weird.

did you check the polarity of both woofers?

btw, you have to joking about the proton intergrated.if you are actually using that, it is way underpowered.

those speakers are designed for top notch gear (ie krell, levinson, classe etc) something that can deliver clean current into a 2 ohm load.

to actually get those speakers to sound good, plan on spending at least 10k-20k on (used prices) on quality gear.

hope that helps!!!

yes, i forgot to clarify that i did, indeed, upgrade to a Levinson system. 383 Integrated, 39 CD Player, Transparent cabling. the protons were definitely not cutting it, and i absolutely love the sound from the levinsons. nicely detailed and laid back. :)
