    Great for running in walls to binding posts. Nice and heavy for carrying over long distances.

    Very nice product! Has marking at every foot in length which helped with installation. High grade copper wire.

    Quality wire at an affordable price. I have purchased many products from monoprice and have never been disappointed.

    I recently wired my family room to be for surround. After many weeks of research then more research I decided on the Monoprice speaker cable. Many audiophiles & high-end home theater folks insist on the Blue Jeans brand. Yes they are awesome cables no doubt there. Being on a budget & having a small room I bit the bullet & opted for the Monoprice. Cost was a factor in my case, I wanted the best I could afford. I was not disappointed.

    Thinner sheathing than some other wire I bought but ran fine, sounds good. Spool sucks though!

    The copper wire is all that fills the casing, not plastic filler! The CL casing is slightly loose... but, come on, for the price they are selling this copper wire, it is all fantastic. I will definitely buy this product for next wiring renovation.

    Couldnt be better - fast shipping, great quality, great price! What more can be expected from a product? I reviewed other user reviews and I would only echo them. If you need speaker wires for INSIDE OF WALLS, this is the product to consider.

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.
