What can I say, there good speaker wires. Good quality sleeves, good audio. I ran these all around my living room for my new Onkyo 7.1 home theater system and theres no distortion or humming of any kind the longest length I used was about 75 ft and it still sounds perfect. I actually ended up using two roles of this for my relatively small living room. I was amazed at how much wire I needed. I actually had to attach a little extension piece for one of the wires and it's still perfect. I just used two of those "crimp butt" connectors (I have no idea what they're really called). The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because the shielding is pretty thick and it's hard to run 4 of these all around the living room. It ended up costing me about $30-$50 just to mount them nicely and it took many trips to the hardware store just to find the right size wire staples and raceways that would fit the wire. I guess it was worth the hassle because they're much better than the ones I got with the system. I figure if you're going to spend a bunch of money on a fancy TV and a bunch more on your home theater system you might as well do it right the first time.

A minor thing, but the wire I received is "antique white" -- slightly off white, which doesn't go against true white baseboard or doorframe as I'd hoped.

I bought this wire because it was a great price for the product. I've used Acoustic Research cabling in the past and their products are solid.

I actually bought this specifically after reading other reviewers received "antique white" colored wire. At the time of this writing, you can actually see the label "antique white" in the large picture description. Our walls and trim are an off-white, so this cable matched perfectly. It bends around doors and corners wonderfully. Definitely a good buy.

I like it because it is soft and flexible that I can run it along the edges of the door. Does what it should and the sound seems fine to me. I guess you may want to get some of those tips for the ends to make it easier to connect to the speakers.

This speaker wire is awesome. I hooked up my HTS with the stock wires and it sounded O.k, but after reading i decided to go with this speaker wire... all i can say is it was a great decision. I like to hear everything just right so you can say i am an audiophile and this makes the experience even better. Go for it you wont regret it.
