1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible quality + expensive, March 12, 2009

This review is from: Philips 100' Spooled Speaker Wire 18 gauge (Electronics)

I bought this to run some wire for a 5.1 setup in my bedroom.

First: when separating the pos/neg I had to use a tool and pull just right or the jacket would rip away from the wire leaving it exposed.

Second: the individually stranded wires snap away easily, even if you're using a wire stripper.

Third: you can go to Radioshack and by 100 feet of 16 gauge (the Philips is here is 18) for 19.99 that has a thicker jacket and is rated for in wall use. Much sturdier, thicker wires, and with more strands.

Fourth: I don't believe that this role of wire is actually 100ft. It didn't even come close to being able to run up through my ceiling in my master bedroom. The Radioshack wire went further and I still have wire left. I'm also getting much crisper and cleaner highs. My sound is much more defined and open.

I'm running a Denon 2808Ci with Mirage Nanosat satellite speakers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thicker, sturdier individual wires than Magnavox wire of same "gauge", July 27, 2008

I didn't know there was a difference between brands! I was installing this product first and bought another brand when I ran out. The brand I bought, Magnavox, from the store had wire that was hair-like, many very thin, brittle strands that broke off easily when I stripped the wire to use it. The product from Amazon, by Philips, on this page, had thicker sturdier wires that did not get cut as easily. It had under half of the wires vs the store bought wire but still was the proper gauge. I would recommend this product over the equivalent "cheaper" Magnavox.

it's normal speaker wire, nothing special and works great.

If your an audiophilia and picky with wires then this is not for you.
