Sounds like better bass

I'm not a big believer in the ability of wire to significantly improve sound, $1,000 a foot speaker wire smells like snake oil to me. I bought these cables mainly because I ran out of speaker wire and banana plugs and didn't want to buy any more. Anyway, I pulled out my existing speaker wires because they were too short for my new placement and plugged in the 12 foot Mediabridge wires. Banana plugs are a perfect match (which in my experience is not always the case) with both my Rotel built-in amp and my Wharfedale speakers. The cables are well protected by the sheath and if I had nits the hot/ground cables coming out of the sheath could be a bit longer. Anyway, I can't believe I'm saying this, but the bass has definitely improved. No questions. I have purchased Mediabridge products in the past and have found them to be very good and these speaker cables are no exception.

Pros
  • Corrosion-resistant gold-plated connectors and stranded oxygen-free copper wire (high strand count) ensure clarity, natural fidelity and minimal signal distortion.
Cons
  • Appearance
