That's just what I was thinking, but it's discouraging because BB seems even less likely to listen to complaints than Monster does.

Oh well, regardless, I think I'm going to reformat your post, if you don't mind, and send it to every address at BB I can find, from every address I have available.

*edit*
In regards to your post, does anyone have links to better products? Here's the one I can contribute:
Dayton Audio

I just bought another $100 of merchandise from them, and got three 10' speaker cables (for left, right, center speakers), two 6' optical audio cables, and two 6' S-Video cables. That kind of money would probably barely cover one speaker cable of the same type from Monster.
