Well, now it's time for me to purchase speaker wire and HDMI cables for my new sound system. I went into Best Buy earlier and was led to the Monster Cable section. The gentleman suggested the Monster XP wire and the 700 HDMI cables.

I will be connecting a TV, cable box and Playstation 3 to the receiver, so as I figure it, I need three HDMI cables.

What is the best speaker wire and HDMI cables to buy for my new Denon/Def Tech system?

So debatable it is scary but certainly NOT at Best Buy.

Please see if these help you at all:

Wow! The HDMI info is especially interesting. The runs I have are literally 2 feet or less. Crazy to think I was about to spend $210 on three HDMI cables.

Just fyi I use Belkin cables in my systems. After all HDMI is just a form of network communication and Belkins been doing networks for years...

Very decent HDMI cables can be had all over the internet for around $30.00 a pop. In my opinion the most important factor is the insulation properties to reduce cross frequency distortion / loss.

I found these site to be increidable cheap and the products are great. I ran a 40ft HDMI cable from Mono price with no problems. You need more cable than just your run for moving things around.

I buy most of my cables from Blue Jeans. I've never used their HDMI cables, but I'm sure they're fine.
