    This is a little bit of a speciality wire. My ONLY complaint is that Ive not found 18 gauge 4-conductor speaker wire in lengths longer than 100. I might be able to buy a 1000 spool, but thats a little too long. 250 would be the sweet spot, but they only seem to carry that in larger (more expensive) gauges.

    Heading says it all. 100 ft of AudioQuest 14 AWG costs about $180! I got sucked into BB sales guy and got the cables for my fronts. Paid about $40 for 24 ft. When I went to get the cable for my surrounds and my backs, $160 threw me off! Got this cable from Monoprice and tried them on the fronts. I see absolutely no difference in the sound quality. I am not an audiophile, but a normal person with fairly good amount of knowledge on A/V, but the quality of sound with these cables are quite acceptable to me. If you are like me, do yourself a favour and save money by getting these cables. These are of good quality.

    Works as advertised. A bit expensive for the type.

    Les fils font le lien entre mon ampli et mes haut-parleurs. Il y a eu une amélioration du son. Cest déjà beaucoup.

    Cable is easy to handle when remodeling porch & wiring in new speakers. Would recommend and use for future projects.

    Used 14/2 CL wire to connect Sonos Amp (connect:amp) to Sonance outdoor speakers (Mariner 64). 70 and 80 foot runs. Wire was easy to work with. Like that cable is marked every two feet so you can measure runs and know Left vs right when you get to amp. This is in attic. I had about 20 feet too much but decided to just coil it in case I add more speakers and need the extra length. Fast delivery. Recommended.

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.
