Customer Review: Monster XPCI Big 100 Foot Speaker Cable
Summary: 5 Stars

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!

Customer Review: Skinny wires
Summary: 3 Stars

+ The round clear jacket made this cable easy to fish through exterior walls with heavy insulation
+ CL 3 rating made it building code compliant
+ The twisted pair construction reduces interference and crosstalk
+ Built in string made stripping through outer jacket easy

- The outer jacket creates an optical illusion to make the inside wires APPEAR thicker than they actually are
- The copper strands are wrapped around a solid plastic core, making the actual amount of copper equivalent to ~16 gauge only
- Need to strip the inner jacket with care because you'll need every strand of copper
- For the price (~$50), would have like to see more copper for maximum signal transmission

Customer Review: Great Cable
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Customer Review: Overpriced, hard to pull
Summary: 3 Stars

I was in a bit of a hurry to get some cable locally and picked up a spool of this despite it's expense. It's not even oxygen free. Anyway, the clear casing may be kinda cool to look at, but it's difficult to work with, both in cutting, and when pulling. As far as audio quality, I can't tell any difference between this and the "lamp cord" I had been using before. Next time I'll go with some solid core stuff.

Customer Review: Does the trick
Summary: 5 Stars
