    Monster has a great marketing team. What they make up for in amazing verbiage and visuals they lack in substantial specifications. I picked up this spool simply because the sales person offered to discount it with the purchase of my rather expensive home theater system that I was buying. I later returned the wire after I discovered that I couldn't find any information about what gauge this wire was. I wanted 12 gauge wire for my setup and Monster, or anyone else who has written a review on this stuff, could come up with a proper gauge on this wire. So I returned this stuff to Best Buy and picked up twice the length 12/2 in wall speaker wire at half the cost. If Monster cannot simply be honest with me about why their speaker wire really is better than everyone else's without resorting to marketing voodoo then they don't deserve my business. I'm giving this three stars because I'm sure their copper will transmit a signal like everyone else's copper will but until their superiority can be proven in a real independent test against equally qualified speaker wire then I simply don't want it in my home.

    This product is a thick cable that is well insulated to reduce interference and provide clean sound when ran through walls. There is cheaper cable out there but the performance of this cable makes the price worth it.

    We bought the wire to install within the walls of new construction for outside speakers. Our electrician who installed this said he was impressed with the quality of this wire. Glad we invested in the higher quality as it will make a difference in the long run.

    Sure can tell the difference with wired Bose and Klipsch surround sound speakers and subwoofer. Wifi just cannot deliver the quality sound. Carver Amp plugged into Bose 901 speakers Rock! Monster cable is the only way to connect'em up!

    Superb low-loss speaker cable, one of the most important components of any system is the speaker cable's ability to deliver lifelike sound, if the speaker cable is too thin the Amplifier has to work harder to 'deliver the goods,' especially over a distance of over ten feet from the amp. Ideally all cables should be of the same length, this ensure, e.g, the front speaker don't get the signal before the rear speakers,one of the best out there.

    While this wire is expensive, it works better than other wires I've used for my surround sound speakers (2 sets). I now have all of my speakers (10) connected with Monster.

    I liked the banana connectors and the wire is good. Took me a minute to tell one from the other, but had no issues other than that.

    We get great sound with this wire. We had long-ish runs ( 20 or so feet) between the receiver and the rear speakers. There is no discernible sound degradation.

    It very good speaker wire, and the protective tube sleeve around is nice, but if you dont big enough wire strippers, or sharp enough scissor it can be a pain.

    I got this to wire my stereo and it performs as expected. I am thinking it is 18 gauge wire. I was hoping it was 14 gauge. With the outer sheath it is still pretty bulky. Basically it is speaker wire. I am happy with it but I don't think I would be at full price.
