    Nice quality wires. Used to build my surround sound system, and they worked great.

    Used to hookup second set of book shelf speakers ( Martin Logans). The quality of the wire looks like the Monster wire I brought years ago for my HT.

    Worked like a charm. Just FYI though if you buy it have an sharp knife handy the white casing it decently thick and tight around the wires to stripping that casing took longer than expected, but thats my fault for not having a sharp knife handy.

    Bought a couple hundred feet of this to use in a church sound installation with subs, mid cabs, and tops. Worked great, sounds great. Copper wire is copper wire and 14 gauge is 14 gauge. Dont throw away money on bigger name brand speaker wire, I have in the past and honestly couldnt tell the difference. The difference in sound quality is probably not audible to the ears.

    Paper thin casing. Not measured properly. Paid for 250. Received 210. Not recommended.

    Used this to wire rear speakers for my Polk TL250s. I went through the wall and ceiling and needed in-wall rated wire. I looked all around for the least expensive option and found this to be a great buy. Im no audio file, but the sound is amazing. No loss that I can detect and no buzzing. I would recommend this for in wall wiring.

    El cable es excepcional el cobre es del hilos delgados muy manejable y de muy buena calidad, el forro es resistente a la instalación y su precio es bastante acorde al producto tal vez hasta mas vara que otros de menor calidad.

    Me agradó la calidad, los materiales son buenísimos, fue utilizado para la instalación de un videoportero a una distancia de 25 metros.

    Quality cable for my application

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.
