They were the monster brand and some Acoustic research since the store was outta some of the wires from acoustic research. this is to hook up a PS2, and a DVD player to my non-HDTV television and Reciever. Di I wate my money and can anyone suggest a cheaper brand of cable?

Simply go to: www.cablewholesale.com

There you will find an extremely extensive array of cables to accomodate any need. If you buy their premium cables (still very reasonablly priced) you will get excellent high quality cables at give-away prices. In the cable world it's like getting something for nothing.

No I do not work for this company. I have purchased cables from them several times and have been extremely pleased with their products.

other possible sources include www.accessories4less.com, www.impactacoustics.com, www.partsexpress.com, and the Phillips Gold series from your local Walmart..

did you get taken for a ride ? if I count right (based on your description), there's at least two SVideo cables, at least four RCA interconnects, and a hundred feet or so of speaker cable ?? if you ran everything through the receiver, that's 1 more SVideo and 2 RCA's. I'd say that's a little on the hefty side, but you could have done much, much worse, especially if you are happy with the quality of the sound and video.

Yes, you spent too much.

Go to Walmart and buy the cables there. They have some Philips branded cables which are every bit as good as Monster and much cheaper.

For speaker wire, just buy some 14 gauge speaker wire.

clarification

Ok I guess I should have clarified, 1 composite vid, 1-25 foot subwoofer cable,2 optical cables for surround. all for $140.00 canadian. Walmart doesn't carry that brand up here in Canada, just the RCA brand. No speaker cable either.
