I've always loved this claim of theirs.

At a CES show in the early to mid '80s, Monster was exhibiting their
cables and touting that the various sizes of conductors were there
because high frequencies would only follow the thin conductors and
bass frequencies would only follow the thick conductors.

Frank Van Alstine suggested that they strip some of their cable, take
some of the thin conductors and plug them into the wall socket while
holding onto the other end. If their theory was true, the low
frequencies (60 Hz) wouldn't be conducted by their "high frequency"
wires. If not...

They promptly threw him out of their room.
