I have elac unifi ub5 and Yamaha R-N803 speakers - I used some generic I think 14AWG - just fairly cheap speaker cables with no shielding - it unless you consider the outer insulation to be shielding - I bought mono price banana plugs anyway but was too lazy to install them, but also wanted to upgrade my cables a bit and had a pretty good experience doing media bridge work - I also bought long Cat5 network cables as 25ft subwoofer cables. I received 2 cables from Amazon in a timely manner but one of the speaker cable box seals was broken but the contents looked unused and brand new. the other box seal was intact. Part of the fun of delivery is unboxing - someone stole that experience from me! Okay, at least I could open the rest of the box. The cable is well constructed - stiff enough but not so stiff that it doesn't bend. it is flexible enough for some narrow applications. I went with pre-engineered, permanently soldered speaker wire with soldered termination and didn't use Monoprice banana plugs and speaker wire because they are "loose" - I actually put Monoprice banana plugs in my AVR setup - nothing. something is wrong, they seem to work, but i needed a strong piece of cable and shielding. Installing the Media Bridge speaker cables went smoothly as expected. The banana plug fits snugly and snugly into the Yamaha and elacs - seems like it fits and contacts perfectly for power and tone transfer. Speaking of sound - sounds great - is it better? I'm not sure, but I had a feeling it sounded better - I might do an A/B test one day if I wasn't so lazy! I don't regret the purchase but it's only been a few days.
