Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Monster Standard THX-Certified Speaker Cable (100 Feet)
Customer Review: more Monster snake oil...
Summary: 1 Stars
Monster Cable and its similarly overpriced imitators are a triumph of hype over substance, and ruthlessly exploits the consumer's naivete and trust in shady audio/video salespeople.
Yes, for most things you DO "get what you pay for"---but when it comes to speaker cables, interconnects, and other a/v wiring however it's another story.
All you need for optimal sound is any 12 to 16 gauge generic cable which you can buy at Home Depot for a fraction of the cost.
Save your money for things like speaker stands, which really do make a world of difference.
Customer Review: Good product, fair price
Summary: 5 Stars
Monster's brand products are usually overpriced with little noticeable performance gain; especially with today's digital transfer cables. However, this speaker wire is a good product and sold at a competitive price. It felt heavy and was very hard to cut (sign of quality material). I think the sound did sound better from cheap wires, but I had no tester to check. I picked it for the THX certification and the standard 16 Guage. The + and - is hard to tell, but they are not identical. If you can read my review, you should have enough IQ to separate them.Customer Review: Good product!

I wanted to build an entire THX certified home theater system starting with the audio first. So I bought the Onkyo HTS 990 THX system to start with. I then added a THX certified subwoofer cable, and just recently added these wires with the THX certified speaker connectors. These wires were cheaper than the Phillips oxygen free wire, so it was a no brainer for me. The speakers have a much fuller range than they did with the 22AWG wire that came with the system. If you're looking for great wire at a decent price, don't pass these by!
Customer Review: Please mark the wire clearly
Summary: 3 Stars
I was looking forward to using this product for all of my home theatre speaker-amp connections. As I was running the wire, I discovered that the wire pair does not have clear distinguishing markings identifying the polarity. The ridge on one of the wires is very difficult to detect as the jacket is clear and the wire inside is identical on both sides. Putting a stripe or wording more often on one of the wires would make identification much easier so the speakers don't get hooked up out of phase. Otherwise the wire functions very well.Customer Review: High performance speaker wire
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved my Monster 16guage wire sooner than expected and all 100 feet were accounted for. The price was right too. For those that feel that lamp cord will work the same and is cheaper, I can tell you that it is not. Lamp cord which looks like crap by the way is about $0.25 per foot which equates out to more than I paid for the Monster speaker wire. Don't second guess it, buy the stuff for what it was intended especially if you are going to be burying it in a wall.
