Never would I have imagined that speaker cables could make this big of a difference in the sound quality of my movies. Not all cables are created equal that’s for sure now that I’ve heard the difference a premium cable can make. These cables have pulled out all the fine details I’ve missed when watching movies and created a whole new surround sound experience. Very happy with them.

The best speaker cable pool you can get for your money. Strips easily without a mess or destruction of cable. Not as many copper stands as basic cable pools.

This review may be premature, as I've been told that long grain copper wires need time to break in.
With that said, I found immediate improvement from my previous 16ga wire; in general the sound seems cleaner in that there is more detail I've not heard previously. In the mid range I find it more defined with more umph (for lack of a better term), however, on the top end, high notes don't seem to be all there? It doesn't seem sharp or crisp.
Overall, I found my listening experience is enriched and I am glad with my purchase, however, I do feel like some life has been lost in sound quality. I hope time will remedy this in it's 'break in' period. Otherwise, I'd like to experiment with bi-wiring these wires in conjunction with my last wires for the top end.
Hope this help.

This speaker cable is great quality and easy to work with. I attached AudioQuest Banana Plugs to the cables . . . they work great together. Highly recommended.

I used this cable for prewiring a new home theater speaker system. Since this surround system will be located in our Great Room, there is very little benefit to using high-end cabling. I have come to trust Audioquest and have found their cables to be quite good even at an entry level. So, if you're looking for something better than zip cord, you really should give Audioquest a try. You won't be disappointed and should easily be able to hear a difference in your music.

These cables really make a difference. Had 16 gauge wire before and with this, the vocals and treble sound much clearer. The wire itself is of very high quality and really easy to work with. Ended up adding audioquest banana plugs to it. You definitely get what you pay for with these

These cables were recommended by the salesman when I purchased a home speaker system. I am not sure why, but I love the esthetic of these cables. They were also easy to use since you pull them apart for as much length as you need, and the remainder of the cable can stay together. It keeps you from having a major mess of cables behind your entertainment stand.

I wouldn’t buy again but it’s what they had. I had to buy the clips - couldn’t use the bare wires since they weren’t thick enough. Quality is good - but I would’ve been better to buy the premade cables

I have read many reviews on on expensive vs cheap wires and I have always used mid-level wires...to my regret. I put the wires on and was immediately able to discern the vast improvement over the old wires. The sound was louder and cleaner than I have ever heard from my B&W speakers. To test my statement I return to the old wires and tried them again and the sound was so inferior I am now in the process of replacing all the wires in my other systems.

I have always beleived that speaker wire was speaker wire, but since I decided to invest more into my audio system I thought I would go with more expensive connection accessories. The sound that is reproduced using this cable is amazing and I believe it does allow better sound to come through my speakers. No static or any other background noises can be heard. Just clean clear sound. I would only buy this cable for connecting high end audio equipment.

I currently use these cables with a pair of Bowers 685 to a PM 500 DC amplifier (Marantz). The 14AWG handles the power output well, there isn't much that could be said for speaker cables. I personally bought these because they were 14AWG, flexible and insulated well to handle hard handling. The cables are dark grey in color.
