Summary: Not any better than 16 gauge lamp cord
Review: All availible double-blind testing indicates that differences between copper wire of the same gauge over the same distance is completely inaudible. Monster Cable is no better than any other cable of the same gauge in terms of audibility, except in terms of Monster's marketing budget.
16 gauge stranded copper is more than enough for nearly any power draw over nearly any reasonable length of cable to any speaker.
Anyone who claims otherwise has never attempted to A/B speaker wire under double blind conditions. Spend your budget on speakers and amplification and use the change in your couch to buy 16 gauge lamp cord at a hardware store. Anything more is a monumental waste of money. Thus spake Julian Hirsch, and it is the truth.

Summary: Pleasantly Surprised
Review: I added the Monster THX Speaker wire, along with THX connectors, out of curiosity to see of there would be any difference, at all, in sound quality. Much to my surprise there was a very noticable improvement in clarity and crispness on the highs when compared to the standard speaker wire I was using. I'm using an Onkyo TX-DS595 Receiver and Infinity HTS-20 speakers. This was an easy inexpensive and worthwhile improvement to my home theater.

Summary: A must for home theater system
Review: I own an Onkyo TXSR500 home theater system and Bose speakers. I never had received a satisfactory sound effect from my Surround speakers. After chaging the speaker wires to Monster Cable THX wires, the result was really noticeable. I realized that the speaker wires sold as part of home theater packges were very low quality. Now I get a very good sound effect for movies as well as music. Highly recommended.
