    This cable is a nice heavy gage for covering long distances, the insulation is a good thickness and removes easily so the conductors dont get nicked. Ive bought several spools of this as Ive worked on different rooms in the house and would definitely get more as needed. Highly recommended.

    Well made cable at a decent price. I will definitely purchase and use this cable again.

    The quality was very nice, length was correct and rolled off the spool well for 14 AWG wire. I ran short on my project and didnt hesitate to order another spool.

    Good purchase if you’re looking to add a sound system to your house. CL rating so in can be ran in walls.

    Very reasonably priced; the wire is nice and thick and it was very easy to pull. I dont think this could be classified as audiophile grade, but it is perfect for 99% of home theater applications; its far better than a lot of the other cables Ive bought in this price range. 99.9% of people cannot afford audiophile-grade speaker wire for a home theater installation. For my 10x17 home theater with 7.2.4 dolby Atmos, I needed nearly 225; its probably better to overestimate than to get stuck without enough and have to order another roll.

    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.

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.
