Review on πŸ”Š Enhance Audio Quality with InstallGear 12 Gauge AWG 250ft True Spec Speaker Wire - Red/Black by Jennifer Romero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As part of my home theater upgrade:

After upgrading my projector (BenQ HT3550) and receiver (Onkyo TX-NR686), I wanted to rewire the speakers and move them along the walls and ceiling instead of resting them to let on the floor. I needed longer cables for this and ended up buying a strand of this true 12GA copper clad aluminum (CCA) speaker cable. I bought these for the main reason for their cost: I was concerned about the sound quality at first, so I went online to research the sound quality of the CCA cables before buying them. In fact, I found that this provides the same resistance as 14GA of all copper wire (you lose 2GA compared to all copper wire) and I was okay with that. Oxidation seems to be an issue with all materials including copper, silver and aluminium, so we use gold plated connectors at each end, although gold is not a very good conductor and does not oxidize. All in all, after setting everything up and playing a 4K Blu-ray with Dolby ATMOS audio, I was very pleased with how clear and crisp it sounded! Now I am a very satisfied customer.

Pros
  • Ease of installation
Cons
  • Reliability
