Yes, Jeremy; Transparent is simply one of those companies that sells overpriced cables, the added cost apparently being necessary to compensate for the extra expense in composing advertising lies. Both your Blue Jeans speaker wire and the Monster cable work fine, although you probably paid far too much for the Monster. Excellent low-cost online sources include MonoPrice and the Tartan Cable division of Blue Jeans.
