dham Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Hi, Just wondering if someone can advice..... where can I but some quality speaker cables (Monster or similar) in Brisbane? Cheers Dham
dantan Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Sorry, mate, can't help you regarding where to purchase, but for good-quality loudspeaker cables, definitely look at The Chord Company (UK) loudspeaker cables. The Chord Company Carnival SilverScreen retails for approximately $20.00 per metre but can be had for about $15.00-$16.00 per metre after haggling. Otherwise, if you are looking at higher-end loudspeaker cables, The Chord Company has stunning higher-end loudspeaker cables, too. Dan.
AndrewW Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 some quality speaker cables (Monster or similar) Seriously mate, unless this post is a gee-up, stay clear of Monster. Price does not equal quality.
Azz123 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I'm not even going to say the "M" word... Pop on down to Sunnybank Hi-Fi and ask for Chau. She knows her stuff and will only recommend cables that will do your speakers justice. Their number is 3216 9166 Good luck with it. A
redxiii Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 There is nothing essentialy wrong with the product (its just the business ethics). Regardless of which I use Gecko 12awg bannana plug cables (like $70 for the pair of 2 metre cords) to connect my neuphonix and the only improvement I can make is either by using a better source (my neighbours considerable better denon source gear) or a better quality power amp over my parasound. Just for fun I 'borrowed' some alternative cabling around twice the price bracket and there was little discernable difference. I'm a firm believer of science and I sincerly doubt in many snake oi.... I mean cabling companys claims. That being said I can see the point of having 'better' quality cabling if say I had 50k worth of speaker if only because 100$ worth on cabling would just seem unbalanced. (runs for cover).
Mitcon1503562253 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 If your after monster cable why not check out Selby Acoustics (and get 20% forum discount) for something simular or if it was my money check out the HD3 speaker cable from PSR Audio which is better and large gauge than Monster but only $3 bucks a meter.

dham Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Thanks all for responses. Dan, I have seen and heard about Chord while in UK. I will check them out. Also, I am living on the wrong side of the city for Sunny Bank HiFi but may pay a visit during the weekend. Cheers Dham
Juicester Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 i can get you chord silver screen for $13 a metre - non inclusive of postage if you're interested. that's $7 a metre off rrp.
