    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.

    Rewired speakers in theater room. Works great for 200 plus watts.

    perfect for my low voltage Christmas light show I built.. probably buy more latter this year..

    This is a really high quality wire. I bought it to extend a security camera power source along the baseboard and up along a window. It blended against the painted trim perfectly. It was heavy enough to solder and is a nice quality copper. I would feel safe using it for speaker wire or power.

    Easy to run, exactly as described. Loved that it states the amount left on the wire, so you know what is left in the box.

    if you are looking for good wire and good price i always find Amazon is right up there with the best of them. This wire was installed on my new Pioneer AV/ receiver and Bose speakers and professionally installed. My new sound system is just like going to the movies in my living room, with no hassel of long wait lines or ridiculous movie prices. I would give it five stars but it was a day later than i expected to receive it but still on schedule as planned with expected delivery estimates.

    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.

    Monoprice always delivers quality. These cables CL2 rated it so you can run them in the walls with no problem. I have use this in seven houses and they work fantastic

    Great little cable, no complaints.

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.
