Top of the line Speaker Cable June 19, 2008
Don't buy cheap speaker wire to hook up your expensive speakers.
With speaker wire, you get what you pay for. The Monster speaker wire delivers great sound and is very thick and sturdy. Very well constructed and works great when strung through the walls.
Warning, if you are stringing it all through walls and crawl spaces, buy more than you estimate, else you may have to buy what you are short at a local store for a higher price.
 Expensive, but it has benefits May 3, 2008

If you check out many of the audio/video website forums, and home theater forums, you find that members rail against Monster products for being overpriced. That may be, because to deliver audio to your speakers, there really is no difference, electrically, between $1/ft Monster cables and $0.20/ft generic speaker wire of similar gauge (or lamp chord for that matter). However, there are definite benefits to this product that justifies the price to me.
The beauty of this XPHP-CI cable is that is has a high strand count, which means it is very flexible. Fishing it around walls is easier than if the cable was stiff, as you would get with thicker but less strands of other cables. This is also useful for in-room speaker connection cable - say from your amp to the wall plate or the wall plate to your speaker, as the flexible cable will lay where you put it and you are not fighting it or bending it or worried the working you are doing will weaken the joint at the banana plugs you've put on the ends.
The other benefits, well, the clear covers means its attractive and blends better than brown, white, black, grey, you name it. The CL3 rated jacket means its firecode compliant to run inside of walls. And the beefy nature of the cable means you have some meat to attach those banana plugs to.
Sure, a 16ga spool of any wire will do electrically, even for high power setups so long as you don't run 200feet, but it wont look and feel the same and not inspire the same confidence that the connectors you put on it will stay put for the long haul. But you do pay for Monster products.
I don't buy all of the marketing about it making your music sound better. Its an electrical conductor made of copper like every other cable. I do know that the look and feel and workability are worth the premium price to me.
This is an excellent product at an excellent price. January 14, 2008

The Monster XPHP-CI cable makes a big difference at any volume, but it really shines when you are pushing allot of sound at once, especially bass. This is my second roll from Amazon and it will be used for my 7.1 sorrounds (POLK Rti-6). The cable itself is pretty heafty and I would suggest you have a nice pair of wire splicers on hand for a clean cut. Also, the price through Amazon was the best next to Ebay.
