Guys,

I have used monoprice for a variety of things and am generally happy with the quality of product.

I have my first opportunity to build a theater for a friend. He has a modest budget and I have been thinking about suggesting we look at monoprice for in-wall speaker cable, interconnects, hdmi extenders, etc.

I would appreciate any thoughts you guys have on using monoprice as a source for cables/interconnects/and related items.

Thanks in advance.

Brian

I have bought cat6, hdmi, component, stereo, wall plates of all kinds, multiple tv mounts, etc. from them over the years and they have always delivered in spades.

They seam like a good place to go. I always shop around though... I ran cat 5e all through my house and only spent like 30 for 200 feet from ebay, i found speaker cable at lowes, 100 feet for 10 bucks... without a doubt though they are the best on alot of things.... but I always shop around. They have nice priced wall plates....

I just recently ordered over $150 worth of cables, faceplates, and adapters for our new kick@ss video conference system at work. In fact, I've been ordering from them for years now and have not found any fault in their products or service.

I'll add myself to the list of fans of Monoprice. I just spent about $350 there on HDMI cabling (a couple of long runs, too - 25 & 30'), an HDMI splitter, some RCA cabling, and a power bridge / faceplate for a projector installation... The stuff will be going into the walls over the next 3 weeks.

By the way, a local shop budgeted 4x that amount for my install... I still need to get speaker wire, but otherwise, Monoprice was the best solution for me.

I have only received one duff e-sata cable from Monoprice in the roughly $1000 I have spent with them over the last couple of years. Everything has been extremely well made and I do not hesitate to order from them when I need something. Shipping can get expensive if you need it quickly, but for normal delivery it is pretty decent.

I would absolutely go with monoprice. I can only say good things about their quality, price, and return policy.

I bought almost all my audio/video cables from them (500ft speaker cable, a couple of long HDMI, etc). Great service, fast shipping. I spent enough that I got "upgraded" and get a little extra discount.

I even turned my band's sound guy onto them when we needed some new XLRs and long 1/4" speaker cables. He was dubious of the quality upon seeing the price until he actually saw them.

I just want to give Monoprice an A+ plus as well...I have used them for numerous items and I cannot complain with their service or prices!
