i was not expecting this item till next week but found it on my porch today!!! shipped very fast. it is worth it to pay a little more for good speaker wire, and monster is good wire. i used 14 guage (not 16 or smaller) to wire up a whole house audio system. some spans are as much as 48 feet away from my receiver and everything sounds great. the white housing trims easily to reveal the standard 2 wires jacketed in red and black.

First, let me say that I typically steer clear of anything with the Monster Cable brand on it because I feel it is overpriced. That's why I was surprised to find this 500ft spool of 14ga cable for such a reasonable price.

Last year I used this cable to wire a surround system in my family room and it has worked perfectly. The cable is very flexible and has a marking for every 1' of length, so it's easy to tell how much you've pulled. (The mark isn't just a tick, it actually has the number of feet printed.) It has a low-friction shielding so it's easy to pull and an internal rip-cord helps remove the shielding when you're tying this into speakers.

This is 14ga wire, which was perfect for my usage. Anything smaller starts to impact sound quality on longer runs, and larger wire is a pain to work with for some connectors and speakers.

Overall, I would highly recommend this cable. To me, this strikes a perfect balance between price and performance.

Stay in-line or above your local electrical codes. If you run speaker wire behind walls, use this type of wire.

I have been looking for in wall rated speaker wire for a long time, and these are one of the cheapest I have seen for 14 awg CL2 rated. I would never by name brands, but it is an extra perk to get Monster cable cheaper than some of the generics I have see. It comes in an easy to pull spool..

I'm no expert, but I purchased this spool because it is sheathed and I was installing it in a wall and through an insulated attic. Works great. The only reason I bought Monster Cable was because of the price I found. Otherwise, I would've gone "generic".

We are using this cable between our AV closet and the home theater in our media room. Quality of the cable is fantastic and it was very easy to work with. Cable showed no signs of stress pulling throu the walls and running across our attic. This length was perfect for running a 5 or 7 channel system. We have our front speakers bi-amped so it's more like a 7 channel system.

This is some very nice cable, especially for the price. Unlike a previous reviewer, mine arrived on a heavy wooden spool in a professional dispenser box, with all 500ft accounted for.

Bought this speaker wire recently, great value. cable looks and feels better than I expected. Top quality from Monster. Highly recommended. Pure Copper.

I got this to put several hundred feet of cable in the walls to wire up a 7.1 system using Aperion speakers and a Pioneer 1020 rcvr. Great price, easy to strip the wires, stiff enough to fish through existing walls but flexible enough to handle and attach to connecting plates. The spool makes it super easy to measure out 10's of feet at a time compared to smaller more expensive spools. Price per foot is excellent and it sounds great, the BluRay movies are shaking the house and the nuances of sounds moving around you is stunning. Note that the spool is about 18 inches high, much larger than it looks in the photo. Remember to measure twice and cut once, but if you do blow it there's lots of extra on the spool...

Nice quality! I used it to link 8 speakers all over my house to a central receiverwith spans up to 60'. No noise or feedback, highly recommended!
