Monoprice 102820 100ft 14AWG CL2 Rated 2-Conductor Loud Speaker Cable (for In-Wall Installation) CL2 Rated | 2-Conductor

Excellent pure copper, oxygen free speaker wire at a great price! While this wire was specifically made (& rated) for "in wall" use, I find that it's amazing for running under the carpet and along baseboards, as well as up the wall. I'm currently living in an apartment until our house is finished, and this wire is excellent as it blends into the wall and makes it much less of an eyesore, compared to standard copper colored speaker wire. As you can see in my photos, it blends in nicely when connected to my surround sound speakers. (It does have light black writing on the white outside casing, but its actually pretty easy to rub off, to make it look much cleaner)Being 14 gauge is great as well, though you'll want to make sure you strip & twist the wires correctly as it's a very tight fit if you have spring loaded speaker connections, and they can be a little tight when connecting them to banana plugs. That said, the positive & negative color coding is great. I really can't say enough great things about this wire. It's extremely high quality and Monoprice hit it out of the park with pricing. If you're looking for great high quality speaker wire, Monoprice is the way to go. Don't be fooled by the "scary monsters" out there, with their extremely overpriced wires & cables... Monoprice will have you rockin & rollin with their amazing quality & pricing.

I am using this speaker wire in walls and my ceiling with the following speakers and receiver:ELAC - Debut F5 Tower Speakers (Each)ELAC B5 Debut Series 5.25" Bookshelf Speakers by Andrew Jones (Pair)ELAC C5 Debut Series 5.25" Center Speaker by Andrew JonesMicca M-8C 8 Inch 2-Way In-Ceiling In-Wall Speaker with Pivoting 1" Silk Dome Tweeter (Each, White) (for Dolby Atmos)Yamaha RX-V583BL 7.2-Channel 4K Ultra HD MusicCast AV ReceiverI am using Mediabridge Banana Plugs - Corrosion-Resistant 24K Gold-Plated Connectors - 12 Pair/24 Banana Plugs (Part# SPC-BP2-12 ) to connect everything together. I am getting great sound everywhere. I had this same Monoprice in-wall speaker wire in my old house, 16 gauge instead of 14 at the time, and it worked great for years there, too.This speaker wire is a good value and the copper strands twist together without fraying. I purchased speaker wire from Belkin once that frayed all over the place when trying to twist the copper strands together tightly. This wire is a quality product.

Great product 4 quality coper wires and ripcord to spice main housing for easy access.I bought this product because I wanted to be able to run only one line to my front bi-amp polk floor standing monitors that feature a high and low inputs. I am able to achieve this through my Onkyo 818 TX-NR.The Setup (1 front monitors):Cut two equal length cords the double the distance from the stereo to the speakers. Splice wires 1/4" from end and attach to banana plugs. Red (+) and Back (-) for Lows, and Green (+) and White (-) for Highs, (or what ever color system works best for you) Plug into the monitor first so you don't short out your stereo and enjoy the difference in speaker HI-FI quality.The Setup (2 rear speakers):Run a cord from the stereo to the back speakers. Attach 2 of the cords to another speaker cord to allow for separation of space between the rear speakers. This was great for running one wire back instead of two separate wires.The Pros:Wife extremely happy with the absence of unsightly wiring left by bulky wire systems.Wires striped easilyRip Cord made it a lot easier to reveal wires from the housing.The cons:Wires are not shielded (but I don't think this will cause any difference in quality as long as you aren't running them next to your power supply.)Wires are not sealed from oxygen (a pro of using monster cable speaker cables.) Not that this is a big deal just a preference.The price fluctuates so much and can actually be purchased some times cheaper from the dealer's site.

These might not be fancy, but they have unbeatable practical quality and a great price. If you need speaker cable, give this one strong consideration.A few features that make this cable worth every penny:- All-copper conductors- Low strand count = thick, durable strands- Color-coded inner jackets- Length markers on the outer jacket at each foot- Rated for in-wall installationThe 14 ga. notch on my wire strippers made a clean cut on the inner jackets without breaking any of the strands, so the wire diameter is perfect. The outer jacket is loose and doesn't have the appearance of a precisely manufactured product, but it works to your advantage because it doesn't restrict the inner wires during installation. So, I see no reason to complain.If you live in the Western U.S., you can buy this cable direct from Monoprice for cheaper. If you are located in the Eastern U.S. and have Prime, you can pay about the same and get it from Amazon much sooner. It's a great price either way. Expensive cables impress no one.
