3.0 out of 5 stars No plugs, January 21, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Acoustic Research PR221 Speaker Wire 12 AWG Oxy Free Copper, 50 ft spool (Electronics)
I ordered this product on the expectation on receiving the plugs. Since the spools are 50' I needed two, with 16 plugs expected, I figured it to be a great deal.

Like the person above, I received the cable w/o plugs. I called Amazon and they happily sent me another set of cable, which I didn't need, in the 'hopes' apparently that they'd come with the plugs, and a return label to send back two spools of wire. Bureaucracy at its best; still I didn't receive the plugs.

Amazon customer service did respond quickly the second time and issued me a $20 credit per spool. They said the return label was coming us mail. They had 1 day shipped the second set of wire, turns out completely a waste since I'll be returning them.

The cable itself is heavy duty plastic wrapped, soft and pliable. Because of its construction and my cheap wire strippers, it was a bit of effort to get the wire stripped, but I think that is somewhat good. Overall, I'd order the cable, but would look for it elsewhere without the plugs.

Customer service did say they'd try and get the listing fixed to show that it had no plugs, or to get them sent each time.

5.0 out of 5 stars AR 12 GA. OFC SPEAKER CABLE, August 1, 2005

This review is from: Acoustic Research PR221 Speaker Wire 12 AWG Oxy Free Copper, 50 ft spool (Electronics)
You just couldn't go wrong at this price. I paid the same amount for 50 feet that Best Buy charges for 25 feet of the same top quality AR speaker cable. That's right, cable. At 12 gauge, it's no longer "wire" in my book. Not only is this cable top shelf OFC, it comes with 8 gold connectors that would easily cost an additional $15.00 to $20.00 at your local radio shack. It's almost like they charged me for the connectors and "gave" me the cable. I only needed 25 feet but bought 50 because of the great price. I've been in the home/car audio business for over 25 years and deals like this don't come around too often. My only regret is that I didn't buy 250 feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars quality product, January 23, 2008
This review is from: Acoustic Research PR221 Speaker Wire 12 AWG Oxy Free Copper, 50 ft spool (Electronics)
This is high quality speaker wire, insulation is nice and thick. Wire is 12g so you can use it for long runs without loss of signal strength.
Seems just as good as monster speaker wire for twice the price.
