    I didnt measure it to see if it really was 100ft but it did the job for me, had a bit left over.. seems like good quality copper, no silver strands anywhere. It does the job well.

    Great speaker wire. Love that it has the distance marked every foot. Only reason for not 5 stars is that the outer insulation jacket seems unnecessarily large. The conductors are just floating around in there, making the overall outer diameter much thicker than I had anticipated. This may be an intentional feature, but something to keep in mind. I was only able to fit 4 wires through a 3/4 hole (see attached photo). Otherwise product quality is excellent

    The wire seemed to be of good quality. I am pleased with it. I used it to run through my attic and it is very durable and very easy to use. There isnt much to say about it because its only speaker wire but I think it was well worth the money.

    This is some really darn nice cable. Ive been installing home theater and AV systems for a few years now and had until now been using 100 to 200 spools of standard speaker cable. Ya know the flat clear kind? It had always worked fine for me.

    Works great for LED lights wiring Nice and thick like it should be, but unlike more expensive thinner LED wire.

Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality, oxygen-free, pure bare copper speaker wire from monoprice!

this speaker wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% pure), oxygen-free bare copper. Pure bare copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. Cca is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper. This additional resistance is added to the impedance of your speakers and can negatively effect The sound.

for the wire to have no audible effect, The total wire resistance should be no more than 5% of the lowest impedance of your speakers. Even speakers rated for a nominal 8-ohms, may dip to as low as 4-ohms at some frequencies, which further reduces the total cable resistance allowed in the wire. Using pure bare copper speaker wire ensures that the total load put on the amplifier remains as close as possible to the impedance curve of your speakers.

for example, a 16AWG 2-conductor pure bare copper speaker wire has a total resistance of 0.803 ohms per 100 feet (both directions must be considered). by comparison, a 16AWG 2-conductor CCA speaker wire has a total resistance of 1.181 ohms per 100 feet. Assuming 4 ohms is the lowest impedance of your speakers, a speaker wire run can be no more 0.2-Ohms total. 20 feet of 16AWG pure bare copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-Ohm limit. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well over the 0.2-Ohm limit.

each conductor is jacketed with color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification. The entire cable assembly is jacketed in a white, CL2-rated PVC material. The CL2 rating indicates that the cable complies with fire safety and insurance requirements, making it safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings.
