Monoprice Choice Series 12AWG Oxygen-Free Pure Bare Copper Speaker Wire, 50ft

I hadn't thought about replacing my ancient, heavy 12awg Fulton cables until my wife noticed a green goo seeping out of the ends at the speakers and onto our floor. I did a quick look online for a reasonably priced replacement cable, and found so many enthusiastic reviews from professional reviewer as well as ordinary listeners, I decided to try the Monoprice Choice Series 12 Gauge AWG.I installed them with between my McIntosh amp and JSE speakers with new Monster Cable banana plugs -- and was very pleasantly surprised by the very noticeable improvement in sound.1. Greatly improved sound stage. My audio setup in our small living room is far from ideal, and sound stage was always disappointing. But we couldn't change the location of the speakers by more than a a couple of inches.With the Monoprice cables, the music is arrayed across the room, and even provides details of depth that I never heard before.Just before I swapped out the old cables for the Monoprices, we had been listening to a favorite high quality recording of Renaissance music. The CD was still in the player, so we gave it a spin. Now we heard the musicians arrayed in our living as in a live performance, which not only provided a convincing stero image, but also greatly helped provide separation between the instrument.s2. Revealed details, character and subtlities in the music. In the Renaissance ensemble, we simply heard more of the music. Since that first "audition" of the Monoprice cables, we've listened to a wide variety of music -- all sorts of classical performances from solos instruments, chamber groups, to big orchestral pieces; Hawai'ian intrumental and vocal music; bluegrass and folk music; Beatles; Paul Simon.I was especially amazed by two pieces I thought I knew pretty well: Paul Simon's "Graceland" CD; and the astounding performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto with Leonard Bernstein/NY Philharmonic and Isaac Stern, which I heard on local classical music FM station.I long ago stepped off the audiophile carousel, and stopped pouring money into audio equipment. But the return in enjoyment of the music I have received for this under-$40.00 investment has been outstanding.Try it.

This is NOT copper-coated aluminium wire, this is just copper - which is good. That being said - the plastic coating is rather tough compared to some other smaller gauge wire I've used - but that's not a bad thing, just a random tangential comment.Anyway, they work - and maybe it is confirmation bias, but they definitively sound better than the junky cca wire I had been using previously on my system. (Domus Omni speakers, Denon 365R, Olympus 2k.)Anyway, good wire.

I could bore you to no end about my opinions on speaker wire but I will spare you the pleasure. What you need to know is that this is just great speaker wire and after installing it in my system, the music sounds fantastic and that is what it is all about.

Used to hook up 2 speakers works!
