    I've used this same speaker wire many times in the past with no issues. The copper is good quality so there will be no sound quality issues. Where I had trouble was with splitting the cable to add banana plugs. Maybe it was a bad batch, but the wire was extremely difficult to separate and strip. Normally you can just pull it apart, pop the banana plug on and you are done. I was not able to pull the L/R channels apart by hand and I had to cut the sleeve. The sleeves were not perfectly shaped and caused problems trying to attach the rocketfish banana plug rings. If you get this speaker wire and want to use banana plugs, dont use the rocketfish plugs.

    Not much to say. It's speaker wire and it works. It doesn't split down the middle as easily as other wires, so that's a bit of a drawback. Best to use a cutting tool. Otherwise, it's okay

    I guess it's ok. Didn't actually use because the system I wanted was damaged and the replacement one didn't need speaker wire.

    There are better options for speaker wire

    If you're in a pinch like I was at the time this could be an option to get you by for a while. If you can hold out a couple days look elsewhere. I struggled to get the two strands of this wire to separate. The clear plastic coating around the wiring is too thick, making this difficult to separate. I ended up wasting my money on this product that I never actually got to use. Stick to a cheap and famous name brand from an online e-tailer instead. This certainly isn't worth the extra cost and frustration.

    Speaker Wire

    Speaker wire does not have a colored line on one of the wires thus you need at minimum an ohm meter as well as a marker of some type to make sure the phasing is correct. Found that the easiest and safest way to separate the bound wires in-order to make a connection for both speakers and amplifier is to use a scissors to cut the wires apart. It is also hard to trim off the insulation to expose the bare wire.

    Overpriced, due to "brand name" compared to other brands, which are less than half the cost, for 16 gauge, 100' Quality may or may not be superior

    The sheath is way too thick and is problematic.

    The copper wire itself is fine, but the sheath is terrible. First, it's way too thick. The volume of the cabling is like 90% sheath. This makes it hard to strip properly. Second, it will not separate into two pieces without a knife or blade of some type. This is unacceptable for speaker wire. I returned it.

    Expensive, plus a major pain to splice & strip.

    Too expensive for only 30 feet, but I needed it right away. It's decent quality wire, but the rubber covering is really thick. Really, REALLY thick!!! Splitting them was hard enough, and I actually needed to use the 20 gauge setting on my pliers to strip them, which was also an adventure. Maybe some people prefer really thick coating, depending on where they need it. These definitely wouldn't be my first choice in the future.

    It was the only speaker cable at the store and I ended up splicing in old cable as I needed more than 100 ft. But, it works fine.
