Audio Reviews

What really got me interested in HT system was after going to my local CC and saw Armageddon on demo. I've have seen Armageddon before, but I've have never felt it or experienced it. I knew then and there that I want that same experience when I'm watching movies at home.

After researching and a year later, I finally have everything components of my HT. The only problem was that I didn't get that movie experienced. I wasn't feeling the bass; my sofa didn't rattle, and I felt like I was just watching the movie instead of being part of it. I thought the problem was my sub, but I then decided to upgrade my wiring first to isolate the problem, and boy does it make a huge difference!

Previously, I was running regular 16-guage-speaker wire to my JBL PSW-D115 subwoofer, then from my sub to my speakers. Well, I've replaced my subwoofer's wire with Monster Home Theatre Interlink 201 Subwoofer Interconnect, and rerouted my speakers to come straight from my receiver (Pioneer VSX-27TX, great receiver by the way). I used a 6-meter length, cause I wanted to move my sub toward the back of the room. Before it reside toward the rear of my room, I've tested it in different places in the room and it still sounded great, and the best part was, I couldn't tell where the bass was coming from (if I didn't know where I've placed it). I think this is a good sign of what a subwoofer suppose to do, produced sound where you can't tell the origin. Not only are my movies and music having more crashes and bangs, but also, the sound is very clear, not boomy. I now have to turn down the volume on my sub due to the constant rattling and shaking of the house.

The cable seem well made too, cause it's heavier than what I'm used to (compare to my regular 16-gauge-wire). Since I've moved my sub around when testing it, I also pull and tug on it a lot, but the cable took it well. It stayed connected and felt solid when I was dragging it all over my living room.

If you are looking to upgrade your wiring, then put this Monster subwoofer cable on top of your list. This is one product that you can actually hear and feel the difference. Highly recommend!
