Technically great

Well i love music so i always try to have a decent sound system. I juts put a new system with JBL loud speakers and Harman Kardon amplifiers. Usually cable is the same for me, but being a test engineer (RF Field) i decided to test the cable (not just with my ear but also technically)so using an spectrum analyzer i found that this cable has much less insertion loss than other regular cables and as a result the sounds are much better for the most of the different frequencies (Instruments, voices) i definitelly would recomend it as a grat price/value product.

Decent Price for High Quality Speaker Cables..

Although true audiophiles might turn their cheek to lower-priced speaker cables (i.e. anything under $100 for 20ft), the quality of the sound produced is generally a matter of personal opinion. It is true, however, that even those with "virgin" ears may notice the difference between the flimsy "pre-packaged" speaker cables that come with your everyday Home-Theatre-In-a-Box, compared to the higher quality 16 gauge speaker cable that are sold independantly. These Monster XP cables are no exception. They aren't $200/foot like some exotic speaker cables are but they are adequate and reasonably priced enough to replace pre-packaged home theatre speaker wire without burning a hole through your wallet. For someone who wants to replace their HTIB speaker cables with something a little more sturdy that have better sound rendition and are more reliable, these Monster XP's are for you.

My ear drums are busted

I have lost my hearing (not really) because this speaker wire is great for any amp and speaker set... people say you cant really tell the difference with small speaker, which is true. You can really hear the difference with high quality speakers like bose, energy, definitive technology, JBL, Klipsch and other assorted high quality brand names. When you plug this up to those kind of speakers it really has a good affect and clarity levels are added as well, the bass hits harder, and wattage can increase... I recommend this to anyone with a hame theater or stereo system!

Good product

I love sound systems. So when I got my new reciever (Sony STR-DE898/B) I hooked up the new speaker wires with the THX Certified Gold Plated speaker connectors and wow what a difference. I miscalculated how much wire I needed so my rear right speaker does not have the new speaker wire, I can hear a light and day difference in sound quality. Needless to say I'm ordering more to complete the job. The monster fiber optic cable is a must as well. I can hear sounds that I normally couldn't on my old system. I like testing sound with: The Hulk (the scene were he tears up the tanks), Saving Private Ryan (taking the beach), and Open Range (Gunfight at the end of the movie). In all these movies there are small sounds that you can distinctly hear now that I could not before the new wire and connectors. Excellent product.
