I have Elac Unifi Ub5 and Yamaha R-N803 speakers - I've used some generic, I think 14 AWG - just fairly cheap speaker cables with no shielding - no external insulation for protection - I bought Monoprice banana plugs anyway, but was too lazy to install it, but I also wanted to upgrade my cables a bit and have had quite good experiences with the Media Bridge - I bought long network cables Cat5, and a 25 foot 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. there is something wrong, they seem to work, but I wanted a strong piece of cable and shielding. Installing the Media Bridge speaker cables went smoothly as expected. The banana plug fits the yamaha and elacs snugly and snugly - it seems to fit and contact perfectly to carry power and sound. 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 Speaking of sound - sounds great - is it better?
