    There is not much more I can say. It is a nice wire that does a great job. I will be buying more if I need it.

    Solid copper speaker cabling. Didnt think the foot markings would be as helpful as they ended up being! The white jacket is quite loose around the two wires but didnt cause a problem with my install. Durably coated yet easy to strip.

    no issues, cheaper on amazon than anywhere else I looked. Glad I bought the 250 roll. used all but about 10, stereo sounds awesome

    This is a quality cable. 12 gauge is perfect for a excellent for my 5.1.4 speaker layout. Cables are fished through the walls for a clean look and this is what the cable is rated for. Remember this is a THICK cable so when routing take that into consideration.

    Bought this to wire up a new home theater room in my house. I was running through walls so was looking for some sort of jacketed in wall cable. This fit the bill and was at a price (<$0.50/ft) that was tough to beat. The cable easily pulled through walls and small holes (as small as 5/16 dia in places where I wanted to be discreet). I read some reviews that said it is too stiff or difficult to install to wall plates; that was not my experience. I found it to be only slightly more stiff than non-jacketed speaker wire and as i said the jacket made it easily slide through the walls. I also attached the ends to Monoprice Banana Binding Post wall plates and found it to be plenty flexible for that purpose. The only odd thing I will note is that the black conductor is more difficult to strip than the red....odd, but still not a big deal. Would definitely buy again!

    Outside sleeve is very loose and makes it hard to pull cable threw walls.

    Wired my theater system with this speaker wire after many hours of research. I was looking for in-wall rated wire that was oxygen free with a high strand count that could handle longer runs with low resistance. IMHO, It is a great value for the money. It has worked very well for all my in-wall and atmos ceiling speakers. I am very particular and wired my system to meet the Dolby standards for height and angle to the listener. I understand that there is some controversy about different kinds of speaker wire and the marketing hype surrounding them. This is just a high grade speaker wire without the hype. I purchased higher end speaker wire for my 2 front channels and used this for all the surround speakers and I couldnt be happier with its performance. I highly recommend this product.

    A lot of recommendations on the Home Theater Facebook group and they werent wrong. Carries the sound flawlessly

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.
