I've been gradually putting a HiFi system together with simple brief of good sound - don't break the bank. I have achieved this through buying used kit and some new old stock items.This cable fits well into my design brief as it is cheap, but works well. The cable is easy to cut and strip. It is not prone to twisting or tangling. It's quite thick so you will need to give thought to running in a non obvious manner (especially if bi-wiring)I'd like to talk about speaker wire in general. It's easy to fall in to the "more expensive wire is better for sound mindset" - especially if you seek advice from HiFi Bores. Now while more expensive wire MAY improve sound quality, you need to offset that against how much. Most people will be listening in an audio imperfect room - it will have hard surfaces, furniture, dogs and so on in it. Going for an expensive wire in a home environment may not give you a noticeable improvement,So don't worry that this wire is "cheap" it works well, is easy to work with.

Really good cable! Quality is really good and the copper cable ends don’t break off. Sound quality is also very good and I noticed a difference compared to my old wires

The media could not be loaded. I bought this 16-Gauge Speaker Wire (100 feet) to hook up my home theater system, and I’m really impressed with the quality. I wasn’t expecting much at first, but after working with it, I’m glad I chose this wire.The 16-gauge thickness is perfect for running to my bookshelf speakers and subwoofer. It’s not too thin, so I don’t lose sound quality over longer distances, but it’s still flexible enough to route through tight spaces without any hassle. I was running this wire across a few rooms, and the 30.48 meters (100 feet) was more than enough to cover the whole setup.The copper strands are nicely packed, which helps with conductivity. I didn’t notice any drop in audio quality, and my sound system is now booming with crystal-clear sound. The bronze color is also a nice touch. It blends in well with my wood flooring, so it doesn’t stand out or look messy, which is a small but appreciated detail.Another thing I appreciated was how easy it was to strip the wire and connect it to the speakers. Some speaker wires can be a pain, but this one didn’t give me any trouble. It’s sturdy but still easy to work with, making installation a breeze.Overall, this wire does exactly what it’s supposed to. If you’re looking for a solid speaker wire that’s affordable, reliable, and gives you great sound quality, I highly recommend this one. It was just what I needed for my setup, and I’ll definitely buy it again if I need more!**Pros:**- Great quality, no signal loss- Flexible and easy to work with- Good length (100 feet)- Bronze color blends in nicely- Affordable for the quality**Cons:**- None so far, it worked perfectly for my needs.- yes one actually hence the 4 stars: delivery date has been postponed 10 times and it took 2 months to receive the product. Probably supply chain problem.**Final Verdict:**A solid choice for anyone looking to wire up their sound system without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

Came all the way from Germany !!! Good wire !!

Reviewed Sept 2024:Cable quality is a bit subjective, I've read articles in hifi magazines where cable costing £100 a metre is reviewed.. Personally, I take the approach that a heavy(ish) gauge that has a copper core has to be pretty decent.I bought this for hooking up rear speakers in my vehicle, and I this was a very good price with the convenience of Amazon.Ironically before I could use it, I was having a sort out, and I found a few lengths of speaker cable that probably would have done the job, but I decided to use this stuff anyhow.If you are used to the stock 'doorbell wire' cable for speakers, you may be in for a surprise because 16 gauge is quite thick, so if you are trying to thread it through or into tight spaces, this might need to be considered.In my case, I knew I had to pull out parts of the dashboard and drop the head lining, and using a cable threader, it was all good.The thicker core might also mean something in regards to what you're connecting the cable to.. If you're using a regular stereo and speakers, you're probably using banana plugs, so not an issue, but if you're connecting to car speakers and stereo, you might need to think through how you're going to do that. (I'm soldering as much as I can, but if you're planning on using the screw/block type connectors would probably need to be a bit bigger).Once connected, does the better gauge make a difference? I'm not sure, but it sure makes me feel better using it.This is the first time I've used the Amazon branded stuff, last time I bought a spool off evil pay, and it was fine, just took 2 weeks to arrive. I'd be looking at this stuff next time I need some.
