I am often skeptical of claims about having to spend lots of money on cabling in general. However, I have found through experience that speaker wire quality can matter. I have tried a number of different grades and types of wire in my house (in wall and out of wall) and found that I always had a fair amount of "line noise" that ultimately made the sound quality of my AV system poor. I finally broke down and purchased this speaker cable and was amazed at its performance. No more line noise in the system! I am not really sure why the wound cable configuration matters (I am not a physicist) but for whatever reason it seems to work. I have purchased three spools of this cable and replaced every speaker wire in my house with it. I would recommend it to others. Also, the price through Amazon is roughly half of what it costs in stores so buy it online! MONSTER XPCIBIG100 100 Feet Speaker Cable

Great cable. Used it for adding a second zone to my home theater system. Very solid, good pull through and great sound quality.
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE TRIED MONSTER CABLE. OVERALL IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE. I LIKED THAT THE WIRE IS COMBINED INSIDE THE CLEAR SINGLE TUBE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THAT IN STRIPPING THE WIRE. IT APPEARS TO BE ABOUT 15 GAUGE AND MY CUTTERS HAD ONLY 14 OR 16 GAUGE CAUSING ME TO STRIP SOME OF THE WIRE OFF..
I primarily bought this cable because it is rated for in-wall installations, which as I now understand is a new fire safety requirement these days. Apparently, this sort of cable is supposed to not help conduct fire. Who knows anymore when it comes to building codes. (Pretty soon, they will tell you that it's unsafe to go to the bathroom indoors.) Anyway, I bought one of these same spools at "Name Your Typical Retail Store" and was really chapped by the $100 bucks I paid, so I came to Amazon only to find it for $47.95. I needed another 100 feet, so I ordered it. It shipped quickly with no problems. It is easy to install as it glides smoothly through the holes I drilled in the studs. The cable is actually housed in a round-shaped, single tube that helps make pulling the cable easier. My basement project is still underway, so I can't tell you how it reproduces sound. I figure it ought to be good since it's Monster Cable and for the price I paid in both cases. Anyway, knowing it's rated for in-wall installations and that it's Monster Cable (there are a lot of strands in the wire), I feel pretty good about spending the $47.95 on Amazon for the wire. I would recommend it based on that.
This was just what I needed to complete my home entertainment system. Well that and a new TV but that is a purchase for another day. I have a 7.1 system and needed to get the cable back to the four rear speakers. I wanted the cables hidden and this cable fit the bill. After much research of both the products and the customers reviews I chose this cable. Not the cheapest but it definitely gets the job done and the sound is amazing whether watching TV or or playing Call of Duty. I would definitely recommend them.
Great wire for the price Amazon is offering. Did not really notice a huge difference but I am sure it is good wire. Very thick jacket and in wall rated. Why spend less? I could see buying nicer and heavier wire for high end systems though. This is really only good for mid range systems. - Speaker Cables - Monster Cable - Speakers - Speaker Wire'
