Customer Review: Good Cable for a Great Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I am always hesitant to make a purchase of Monster products simply because so many people hate on the company. I was looking for interconnects to hook up my CD player and SACD player to my Pioneer receiver and didn't want to spend a bunch of money. I had used Kimber PBJs in the past and was pleased with their upper end detail and clarity but slightly disappointed in their bass production. I also have noted a slight harshness occasionally while using the PBJs (which I was using as interconnects between my receiver and Rotel amp).
These interconnects were a good price, at less than 30 dollars an interconnect I could buy 4 pairs compared to just one pair of Kimber Kables. I know that these Monsters used to be much more expensive, I sure am glad they went on sale. For stereo CD listening, I used a pair and then used another 3 pairs for my SACD player. Overall I was very pleased with the performance. The bass is very tight and accurate, not muddled at all. The differences between the Kimber PBJ and the Monster 800 are not that great, considering the price point of the PBJ compared to the Monster. I feel that the PBJs are a little more detailed and clarity is a little greater. This can be good on some systems but for mine that increased clarity and detail led to listening fatigue due to a slight harshness in the top end. The Monsters on the other hand seemed to be smoother and a little rolled off at the top with incredible bass response. Don't get me wrong they are still detailed, but I get none of the harshness I experienced from other interconnects.
In fact I liked the Monsters so much I swapped out the PBJs that were connecting my receiver to amp and put the Monsters in place instead. I felt there was a difference in sound especially in the bass region. I don't feel that I have lost anything by replacing the PBJs, which I have now hooked up to my SACD player. Instead I have gained a greater bass response and a smoother overall sound. I am tempted to purchase another 3 pairs of the 800 interconnects and toss the PBJs out completely. Makes me half tempted to pick up a pair of the 1000s just to see if there is a difference.
I have a pair of the 600s also and to me the only difference between the 600s and 800s is the bass response. The 800s seem to have greater bass control and accuracy. Overall I am pleased with these cables especially for the price.
