Review on Mediabridge 14AWG 2-Conductor Speaker Wire (100 ft, White) - 99.9% Oxygen-Free Copper – ETL Listed & CL2 Rated for In-Wall Installation (Part# SW-14X2-100-WH) by Dominic Kimbro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY - IDEAL FOR 7.1 DIGITAL SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Quality: So I upgraded my entire video system to 4K and then asked myself why am I still using a crappy thin speaker cable when I have 4K digital ?" First thing you'll notice is how heavy the box is when it arrives. It's great quality, ridiculously thick, 35-wire, ALL copper wire! Replaced my old ones (probably 18 gauge " coppered") cable in my 7.1 surround system and can definitely tell the difference, especially with newer 4K AV receivers (I like Yamaha) with Dolby Atmos/THX etc. Cut the insulation so the (also thick ) cable fits through my rubber floor skids (my problem, not the mediabridges) I can't complain about the exceptional quality/thickness of the wire or insulation, and about this e here The wire is ideal for running through walls (I don't need it). Used this cable with Mediabridge's gold plated banana plugs, now it's a lot easier to plug it into the back of the amp! Glad I have a 200ft spindle as 100 would not be enough for a 7 speaker surround system (must use 25-30ft for 4 surround speakers (side/back), 10-12ft for each front speaker 5-6ft for the center speaker so I still have a good 60ft headroom for future projects Note that my living room is not too big so the entire spindle could be used in a large house wire, which would probably be fine but for a few bucks more for a 14 gauge why not get the right deal and I'm glad I did it took about 3 hours to run the wires for all 7 speakers , but I have lots of wall runners and floors for a clean look All the speakers are actually louder and clearer now which tells me these wires have significantly lower resistance and better conductivity than my previous wires in.

Pros
