🔊 Mediabridge 16AWG Ultra Series Speaker Cable - Dual Gold Plated Banana Tips (6 Feet) - High Strand Count Copper - Black (Part# SWT-06B) Review

Speaker wire has been driving me crazy for decades, and it's the only thing that hasn't changed much over the years. I ordered speaker wire with banana plugs already installed on the ends --- I'll never do it any other way. Literally, how to plug something into an outlet. The debate over whether different cable types can actually make an audible difference will never end, but I'm more than happy with this setup.

Simply put, Mediabridge offers the best audio connection for the retail market today. Their fit and finish, their quality and attention to detail are simply second to none. There are some competitors who might fight back, but I'm amazed at how quickly this company has gained my loyalty. And that's not even counting the excellent customer service. Monoprice and iXCC make comparable products, but they're as good as the best!

I recently bought a new AV receiver and added some floorstanding speakers and now I have a 9.2 channel system - too many cables and connectors. This and other wires I bought are part of my solution. All of my new cables are banana plugs, and come in a variety of colors and lengths. The different colors make it easy for me to tell which port on the receiver goes with which speaker. The varying lengths allow you to connect speakers without cutting the wires to length or twisting and attaching…

I came across these cables when trying to replace some of my bare wire connections with banana plugs. I liked the idea of an all in one solution for my front left and right speakers that have connector pins. After reading the reviews and based on my positive experience with the Mediabridge digital coaxial cable, I decided to give it a try. Setup was easy as they connected perfectly to my speakers and the back of the receiver. I'm impressed with the quality of the cable and the sound is…

I needed shorter cables when I was remodeling my HiFi system and in doing so I reduced the length of all my interconnect cables. I connected these speaker cables to my Emotiva XPA-HC1 mono blocks and to my Emotiva speakers. They sound fantastic with these cables and the build quality is better than I expected at this price point. While rebuilding my system, I've plugged and unplugged these cables multiple times with no issues, showing me a quality build process and a solid connection between…

Needed longer (25ft) speaker cable to add some rear channels to my existing 5.1.2 setup (for 7.1.2) in my den. Unfortunately, the speaker wires needed to be visible and unprotected as there was no place in the room to discreetly route them. So the cables need to "fit" the room aesthetically while delivering excellent performance for my Klipsch bookshelf speakers. These Mediabridge cables are ideal for all requirements. They have a nice black jacket on the outside that looks great on the…

These are high quality cables and well designed. There are many more expensive cables on the market whose connectors are held in place by mechanical pressure, such as corrugated wire or a set screw. On the contrary, these "budget" cables are soldered, creating a more stable electrical connection. Soldering also isolates the electrical contact point from direct contact with the oxygen in the air. This is good because the quality of the electrical connection is just as important as the quality of
