5.0 out of 5 stars Monster XPCI Big 100 Foot Speaker Cable, December 17, 2008

This review is from: MONSTER XPCIBIG100 100 Feet Speaker Cable (Electronics)

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!

+ 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

Monster Cable XPHP-CI BIG 100 CL Rated Clear Jacket Advanced Speaker Cable (100 Foot Spool)

Great cable. Used it for adding a second zone to my home theater system. Very solid, good pull through and great sound quality.
