I have Elac Unifi Ub5 and Yamaha R-N803 speakers - I have used some common I think 14AWG - just fairly cheap cables for speakers without no shielding - if you don't consider outer insulation to be shielding - anyway I bought monoprice banana plugs but was too lazy to install them, but also wanted to upgrade my cables a bit and had pretty good experience with a media bridge - I bought for a long time Cat5 network cable plus a 25ft subwoofer cable. 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 a perfect fit and contact for power and sound 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. Thank you for reading. 10/21/19 - still works. Happy with purchase and upgrade
