I purchased the cable I did because it was rated for in-wall and the gauge
of the wire, not the brand name, it just happened to be Monster cable. I
went to several local retailers and did not find what I wanted. I also feel
that I got a decent deal on the internet for the wire. What does this have
to do with buying the Brooklyn Bridge. While I do agree that prices on
Monster cable can be very high if you don't shop around and buy in larger
quantities, it's dirt cheap compared to some of the high end specialty
wiring that aduiophiles pay for their cabling. I also don't think it is of
the same quality of lamp cord purchased at Home Depot or Lowes.

The issue is safety. Power wires should always remain at
least a few inches separated from low voltages. This for both
human safety and for transistor safety.

In the meantime, buying any products from Monster Cables
suggests you also want to buy a Brooklyn Bridge.

this
specific question.

I am in the process of finishing my basement and have run in-wall speaker
wire (Monster CI-Pro) for the speakers and subwoofer lines. Is there a
problem running the speaker wiring right next to the normal 12-2 outlet
power lines? For a 6' distance, the speaker wires are run next to the
power
(110v 12-2) wires. Will this cause a problem interference that will be
noticable when the AV/Stereo is being used? I was told that this might
cause interference with the speaker or subwoofer operation.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
