The Sigma ICs listed for $500 for 1 meter and the speaker cables were $100/ foot .. so an 8 foot pair of speaker cables listed for $800
I auditioned everything from the 350 series to the 850 series in Monster ICs and the Sigma's were clearly notably better ... the Sigma speaker cable easily displaced the lower end Monster speaker cable .. I forget what series it was
I bought 3 sets of ICs and 18 feet of the speaker cable for my home theater in the early 90's
The Monster cables were displaced by the much less expensive and better preforming L.A.T. International IC's and speaker cable ... the L.A.T speaker cables were replaced with the early Anticables
The single solid core conductor was on a whole different level than the stranded Monster Cable and the L.A.T. multi conductor cabling
My last stop was replacing the Anticable and LAT ICs back in early 2000 ... when I went with all Ridge Street Audio Poiema P!!! ICs and speaker cable
