    excellent wire, wire is pure copper as stated, not cca. full 100ft spool, and true 14awg. fair price for quality wire. jacket is also of good quality, easy to strip and install. recommended.

    Wire is pretty unexciting, but Im very satisfied with this. Ive found it to be good quality, easy to work with, and inexpensive. I plan on buying it again, and with wire what else is there to say?

    Second time using in a new construction home. Does the job.

    Ran CL2 wires through walls to hide wires and not have several long wires running directly from the receiver (just in case....). Used speaker outlet with banana plugs for quick connect.

    I bought 50 feet of this speaker wire to hook up my KEF satellites. Two of these wires (i.e. 2 pairs of wire for 2 speakers) comfortably fit in the cordmate 2 conduits which I installed on my baseboard trim. No compatibility issues; they worked perfectly with my mix of Sewell and monoprice banana plugs.

    Nice product

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.
