    Sony, Cisco, Monster...They are all guilty of the same thing...appealing to the masses and gaining market share based on name recognition. Yes, each respective company has good, if not great great products (in some respects) but the simple fact is you can get the same quality at lower prices andmost of us know this.

    Whether Monster is sueing other companies/people or not, we will never make a dent in their sales when they are all over Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Best Buy, Tweeters, Magnolia Hi Fi, and millions of other A/V stores out there and the masses recognize that name.

    Add to that this real scientific test reported in USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/money/indust...-sidebar_x.htm

    We are nothing more than a flea on an enormous dog butt!

    Still...I don't buy Monster, never have, never will and I will never recommend them to anyone!

    Don't forget to view all 10 pages in This Link. I know the initial list only shows 5 pages...but just keep viewing them and you'll bring up page 6...then 7...then 8...and so on. Like I said...10 in all.


    Heck, they even went after Da Bears for its MONSTERS OF THE MIDWAY phrase...MONSTER TRUCK MANIA is another favorite.


    Since the above link only deals with trademark issues...you can also go here and search their civil lawsuits.

    Okay, I am down with the boycott. Do I have to pull and discard Monster Cables I purchased and installed several years ago in order to support the boycott?

    Thanks!

    Buy Acoustic Research cables and accessories instead. They make fantastic A/V accessories in a variety of lines from entry level to their Master Series.
