    What can I say. Great cable, excellent sound. Im running this in wall, no interference, through an expensive set of Definitive Tech speakers. Couldnt be happier. I will look no further, this is what I buy from now on. Also using this on my 1960s solid state transistor system pushing a real 90 watts per to massive front speakers (6 x 12 subwoofers, 6x5 midrange and 4x tweeters) Awesome!!!!!!!! Why spend more than you really need!!!

    These might not be fancy, but they have unbeatable practical quality and a great price. If you need speaker cable, give this one strong consideration.

    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.

    Does not look like cable on their website, packaging is diff and doesnt say oxygen free copper. Wastrd of money and time.

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.
