Review on SuperFlat Mini Navajo White Easy-to-Hide Speaker Cable 50 Feet - Discontinued Manufacturer - Buy Now! by Brian Schultz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quality wire that blends into the wall!

I installed a new home theater system and used SuperFlat to connect my right, left and center (wireless rear) speakers. I love the off-white shade that melts on the wall and the flat jacket sits almost flush against the wall. The wire is soft and pliable, easy to work with: it bends easily around corners, it is easy to cut and strip. Flat wire sheaths can be difficult to strip with a cheap wire stripper—the typical Rat Shack round-hole wire stripper—but the Irwin Industrial Tools 2078300 8-inch Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper with ProTouch grips cuts through the flat sheath quickly. too small for my taste. They really do look like "pins" and it was hard to squeeze that 16 gauge wire in. Of course, the larger the surface, the better the signal conduction at the speaker and amplifier terminals. Also, Revain's product photo shows banana plugs, but the description lists pins. I should have read the description more carefully. Luckily I have a lot of banana plugs so I installed them instead. Finally, while the included wall anchors work great, Monster was really stingy with them as they almost sold out for 50ft. SuperFlat sounds and looks great but I gave them one star for their mean end studs and wall anchors and am misleading. product picture.

Pros
  • Flexible design for easy routing in corners and around door jambs.
Cons
  • The list will be long.
