High quality speaker cable at a lower price

I purchased this 16 gauge Mediabridge speaker wire to replace the speaker wire I used and assembled on a system that has grown and evolved over almost 20-25 years. It's definitely time for that replacement! I could not have bought cheaper speaker cable and still got the excellent quality I have come to expect from Mediabridge. The first thing I did was temporarily use my old wiring to make sure my newly purchased speakers worked at all when I first got them. Then, after removing the old wiring and cutting the new Mediabridge cable to the correct length (which was easy to do using the feature descriptions below), I temporarily connected the new speakers before attaching the banana terminals. The combination of the efficiency of the Mediabridge cable and the age of the speaker cable being replaced resulted in an immediate improvement in sound quality over the earlier sound of the same new speakers. Added a pair (24 pieces) and finally a new mediabridge cable to my new components. I am very happy with the overall result of my new system and feel that the Mediabridge speaker cable has contributed greatly to the overall excellent sound quality that I have achieved. The Mediabridge cable is the same color on both sides but has a highly visible dark blue line on one side running the length of the cable to ensure at a glance that your speakers are connected in phase when you first connect or double check. It's always easy to just look at the blue side of the wire, which I connected to the negative posts, to make sure you've wired all your speakers properly in phase. This 16 gauge Mediabridge wire also has information printed on it in the form of consecutive marks on the side of the wire with no blue line, to allow you to cut the wire to the correct length without having to repeat detailed measurements and re-measure. With these characteristics, the quality of the cable itself, the great sound it delivers and the great price compared to other brands and other stores, I don't know what more we could ask for when buying a speaker cable. Feel safe, happy and have that extra buck in your budget when you decide to purchase Mediabridge speaker cables for your sound system.
