Summary: You'll notice the difference.
Review: I had some cheap speaker wire running between a great receiver and some decent speakers. I thought it sounded okay, but I wasn't really impressed. I bought some of this cable and as soon as I had everything rewired and turned on the system, I could notice that it sounded better. The bass seemed a lot lower and I was happy with the difference. My roommate also noticed the difference as well. Investing in cables is usually a pretty good idea considering how much interference can be caused by a lack of shielding, and how many cables you usually have running out of the back of a system.

Summary: Stands up to REAL punishment
Review: I used this wire to hookup my car audio. I was forced to run the tweeter/woofer wires to each door OUTSIDE the rubber boot.

After more then a year the wire still looks/sounds great and shows no signs of the abuse its had to endure.

UPDATE: its 2002 and the wires are still running strong

Summary: A Definate Upgrade
Review: Many people have not had the opportunity to listen to a good stereo with good speaker wire. Let's face it, many people have not had the opportunity to listen to a good stereo. After hooking up the Monster XP speaker wire to my Kenwood 507 Home Theater in a box system, I was truly amazed by the sound quality difference.

I was a little hesitant buying 50 dollar speaker wire - I mean come-on - I'm not made of money here... I just bought a $500 Home Theater system. But it was DEFINATELY WORTH IT. The added bass really enhances the full spectrum of sound. Whether you are listening to electronic music, classic rock, or classical - YOU WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE on a good stereo. I did hook it up to my low wattage Aiwa bookshelf system and did not find a huge difference. Maybe a little fuller bass.

When considering buying a good Stereo, Home Theater system, or Speakers - Don't go cheap on the speaker wire. It's like buying a Porche 911 and putting pleather on the seats...why ruin a beautiful thing?

ONE IMPORTANT POINT: Monster offers this wire in a off-white color instead of the clear plastic covers. If you want mount speakers on walls or hide the wire discretly - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOOKING FOR THIS COLOR. (...)

Summary: Excellent, but bulky wiring
Review: The Monster Cable XP speaker wire is excellent home theater / audiophile wiring. The thick-gauge and high-quality crafstmanship allows for a better signal. Can't say I noticed a "dramatic" difference between Monster Cable and ordinary speaker wire, but there was a subtle difference. Mainly cleaner, tighter bass (yet subtle). I'm not sure monster cable is worth it's extra-high price, but the price for the roll here at amazon.com is at fairly reasonable. Overall 4 stars.

Summary: The only cable i use
Review: This is the only type of speaker cable i use to connect my state of the art sound system.

Summary: Moster Cable makes the Best Wire Available!!
Review: Those cheap, thin wires that come with your speakers do not take full advantage of your stereo. The high resistance of thin wires looses wattage and can make your sound somewhat distortated or lacking depth. If you have a high powered system, a several thousand dollar quality system, or just an every day sony system, you will notice a difference. More power reaches your speakers making more base and less distortion. The thick wire adds depth and can greatly improve overall quality.

Do I use Monster cable? Well, yes, of corse! I have an Onkyo
60 X 5 surround sound reciver with surround sound model
#TX-SV444. I have KLH speakers. 4 satilites, a center, and a 120 watt powered sub. The set is model #SS02-HTIB. I originally had the stock KLH wire hooked up with my system, and it sounded good. But when I added the monster cable, the sound became strong and full of depth. I got much more bass out of the small sattilites, and the highs were noticably clearer.

If I have a choice, I will never buy another brand of wire.
