    Seems very high quality and I havent lost any sound quality IMO. I used this wire with Bay BVBC Vinyl Connector, Blue 16/14 Gauge to extend my pre-run in ceiling speaker wires so I could put the AV reciever in the top cabinet of my built in entertainment center.

    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.

    Feels stiff and sturdy, as a high quality cable should. Works well, would buy again!

    Nothing wrong with product except that the top of the spool was broken so the wire was unraveling

    Colour coded conductors, white outer shell blends in with walls and baseboards, little bit of room for cutting the other shell with scissors or by pulling the string. Almost ran out the whole spool (for a 7.2.4 setup), the last few feet have been a bit twisted, but otherwise perfect for wiring up speakers.

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.
