    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.

    This wire is very easy to work with. Its suitable for alarms, telephones, audio, etc. Its hard to find quality wire these days, but here it is!

    This is some quality wire. Replaced the cheap wire I had hooked up to my new infinities and now I know how theyre supposed to sound!

    Its speaker wire from Monoprice, what else is there to say about it? Good quality, good value. Was easy to install. The reason I purchased off Amazon is because Monoprice is having shipping delays currently and Amazon could get this to me much faster.

    It is what it is. Nicely wound on a spool. Well packed on delivery.

    Monoprice makes great products at a even better price point. You will not find a better and cheaper CL2 rated 14AWG speaker wire anywhere.

    Worked like a charm. Just FYI though if you buy it have an sharp knife handy the white casing it decently thick and tight around the wires to stripping that casing took longer than expected, but thats my fault for not having a sharp knife handy.

    Wired up my office with 6 ceiling speakers and a small bluetooth amp receiver and speaker selector set up. Works great, will buy again for my next sound project!

    Good quality wires

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.
