5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Product!, April 21, 2010

This is quality flat speaker wire. I was a little uncertain but the price was so good, and the picture wasn't very descriptive, but I thought I would risk it - and I am glad I did.

This is flat speaker wire made by RCA. It is 50 foot of 16 AWG, 100% oxygen free multi-stranded copper wire in a clear PVC jacket. One side is marked as positive. Mine came in sealed in RCA retail packaging.

The wire isn't thin like those micro-thin ribbon wires, but it is very thin - likely a millimeter or under. It looks to be the same size as the Acoustic Research PR361 Speaker Cable. I plan to use it under my living room carpet.

I can't comment on sound quality since I haven't used it, but I expect it would perform like any other decent 16 awg speaker wire.

I added some photos since it was hard for me to tell exactly what I was looking at from the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than "stock", November 28, 2010

Bought these to use with a new pair of Sony 120w speakers. The wire they come with just feels too thin to be able to deliver 120w of sound.

The sound quality, even at low levels, is very much noticeably improved by these wires (had stock on one, and these on the other). Also I just love the flat wire design. Hides easily under anything.

These are very easy to strip as well, not once did I have to restart because I cut a strand. With a knife, slit the clear edges of the casing, and score the casing in-between on both sides. Twist if off, and you're done.

The title should explain what this review is about...I had a very heavy, very round and non pliable speaker cables, which had to cross the room due to speaker placement. The round cable was always a problem under the rug, actually causing some to trip or stumble when walking on it. Therefore, I ordered this flat-wire speaker cable for just this problem and in a few minutes, the problem was resolved, with no loss of signal to the rear speakers...More important, however, was the establishment where the cable was purchased...Very accommodating, genuinely concerned and great customer service, which from my perspective is as important as the product itself...There are many applications for this type of cable but do not be weary of the product or the retail vendor - A great deal from top to bottom.
