Q: wheight ?
A: Hello, the weight of this item is approximately 5 pounds.
Q: Is this stranded? How many strands? What material is the metal? Is this shielded?
A: Hello, this cable uses what we call semi-solid concentric packed conductors which is a type of stranded cable with thick strands that comes close to the performance of our solid conductor cable, but at a lower cost. For the Slip 16/2 cable, it is composed of 37 strands each for the positive and for the negative conductor. The metal is Long-Grain Copper (LGC), a premium grade of oxygen free copper. Both the positive and negative conductors have individual PVC insulation, and the outer PVC jacket is CL3 rated; there is no additional shielding.
A: Hi Ann, At the price the audioquest in wall wire 100' spool is on clearance at the moment for 37.99 id highly recommend going with it even if you're not putting them in the wall. It's very durable and there is a distinguishable difference in the audio quality, depending on what speakers you go with and also what power your amp can push to the speakers. I know you mentioned a pioneer elite receiver which is great but they make models from entry level to ones that have all the bells and whistles, even with a premium brand. Hope that helps. Go with the wire when it's on sale and you grab it!
Q: Is this cable rated CL2 or CL3?
A: CL3
A: It is 16GA wire including the 'Magnetic Flux Tube' which is a layer of non-conductive polymer to prevent signal cross.
