    Worked great in wiring my living room for my speakers and new receiver. Very pleased with product.

    The cable works great for my home theater system. The cost was not bad for this gauge cable.

    Thinner sheathing than some other wire I bought but ran fine, sounds good. Spool sucks though!

    Wired my theater system with this speaker wire after many hours of research. I was looking for in-wall rated wire that was oxygen free with a high strand count that could handle longer runs with low resistance. IMHO, It is a great value for the money. It has worked very well for all my in-wall and atmos ceiling speakers. I am very particular and wired my system to meet the Dolby standards for height and angle to the listener. I understand that there is some controversy about different kinds of speaker wire and the marketing hype surrounding them. This is just a high grade speaker wire without the hype. I purchased higher end speaker wire for my 2 front channels and used this for all the surround speakers and I couldnt be happier with its performance. I highly recommend this product.

    This wire, at 12ga., is more limber than other wire I purchased that was 16 ga. For me, that makes it easier to work with. The bad thing was that it arrived late and the spool was damaged, which turned the roll into a bird’s nest.

    As seen in the attached photos, the spool is crap - the end disks are cheap cardboard that falls apart and the central round core is cheap plastic that breaks even in shipment. All 4 250 boxes arrived with broken plastic center cores and one cardboard side broken off. So, if you try to pull, the wire unspools all over the floor. (See second photo.) I have had the same problem of crappy packaging on their 1,000 foot Cat6 network wires. If you carry them by proper grip holes, the cardboard tears and installation is a total PITA. If you only want to use them at home for a single install, go for it. But, if you do this for a living, take a pass and buy a higher quality product. You should not run your business with these products. Ive been buying Monoprice for many years and they seem to have really cut a lot of corners and cheapened things over the past 24 months. There is definitely some value for the money, but the aggravation and problems are starting to eliminate any competitive advantage they have.

    Several purchases now from Monoprice, happy each time. Top notch quality and at the right price, they got it going on. Love the wire, XLRs are great too. You are number one for cables and wire. Thank you Monoprice, well done!

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.
