    This is my second spool ordered and bot ends broken off and the wire uncoiled in the box/bag. Shrink wrap is only over the wire and not the spool ends, so any bounces and both snap off. If you dont want to constantly return these or dont mind spending a half hour untangling and transferring it to another spool, buy a different brand.

    Simple review: product is exactly what it says it is and seems to be of good quality. I would buy again if I need more.

    Great product. My only advice would be to also consider the 4 conductor wire for installations of more than one speaker.

    I am very disappointed in every aspect. Monoprice re-branded this low-voltage wire as speaker wire and claims it is 14 AWG when it is actually in between 14 and 16 AWG. Both the individual wire insulation and the outer insulation are very thin, and the individual wire insulation is not tight against the wire. With the air gap between the wire and its insulation, and this wire not being advertised as oxygen free, I’m sure corrosion will set in soon. If you need 16 AWG this may be fine, but I needed 14 AWG as this wire was advertised as.

    Seems very high quality and I havent lost any sound quality IMO. I used this wire with Bay BVBC Vinyl Connector, Blue 16/14 Gauge to extend my pre-run in ceiling speaker wires so I could put the AV reciever in the top cabinet of my built in entertainment center.

    The wire is like mention but might have been short by 6 feet from the 100 feet. The quality seems good and the other envelop is resistant. Le fil est tel que décrit et semble d’une bonne qualité l’enveloppe extérieur est résistante. Il manquait 6 pieds sur les 100 pieds.

    As advertised , nice wire ,pure copper.

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.
