That is a great price for the receiver. Getting some kind of warranty?

I think the size of the drivers are the same between the BP6B and BP8B but the BP8B come with the magnesium drivers. Recommended amp is 25 watts higher too. I'm pretty sure they all came out at the same time -- the BP6b, BP8b, and BP10b. The BP20 and BP30 are older than the 'b' ones. They had a lineup of non-b ones before that though.

Forget Mycablemart. This is the cable you need. I had to shop for a minute to find a good one at 50ft. When you go that long it changes things a little.

They are both very good cables. You will never be able to tell the difference. The monster is a joke at $150 but at the price you are paying get which ever you are comfy with. Really doesnt matter.

Yep. Need a booster for anything over 25 feet. Longest Monster M cable is 35 feet.

I'm thinking this RedMere chip might be snake oil too. They reduce the wires to 28 or 30 gauge and stick a booster chip on one end of the cable. I wouldn't want anything boosting the signal over what it is supposed to be coming out of the source.
