This good speakerwire
(5 out of 5) by Ryan Z. Bunker on Nov 3, 2007A little spendy but ya get what you pay for as the copper is purer than other wires I've used and the white plastic/rubber jacket is of the highest quality and has a most discrete look on the walls of my house..
Slightly mislead
(3 out of 5) by yorknh on Nov 6, 2009The wire is fine for what it is. Unfortunately when you search for "flat speaker wire" this comes up in the search and you can't tell from the stock photo that this is NOT flat speaker wire. So if you are looking for OFC speaker wire with an off-white jacket this is good. If you aren't concerned with the jacket color, then any other OFC wire will work equally well. If you are looking for flat speaker wire, this is not for you (though it is relatively low profile).
Simply Awesome
(5 out of 5) by A. Dent on Oct 13, 2009 (Minas Anor, GD)What you get is a 100 ft. roll of high quality, honest to goodness true shiny-red copper, 16 Gauge thick wire and I just can't see why anyone would settle for anything less.
I ordered this roll 'by mistake', not knowing that my Onkyo 7.1 speakers set actually came with its own color-coded wires and I was about to return it. I then decided to actually do a comparison test. The color-coded, thin, aluminum-like wimpy wires that Onkyo was providing 'for free' vs. the Acoustic Research, thick, near-pure copper. Needless to say, and I would not call call myself an audiophile, I immediately knew that this wire was a keeper. The sound coming out when using the AR's AP-16100W was clearly crisper, fuller and I did not go back to the color-coded Onkyo-supplied alternative.
Here's what you get:
- 100 ft. long, 16 Gauge
- Superior quality copper
- Off-white thick wire
- The '+' wire is clearly but discretely marked
- Limited lifetime warranty (I don't really know what that means)
- Made in China (why AR, oh why?)
I recommend this good quality, high performance speaker wire without hesitation.

Good Stuff
(5 out of 5) by S. Glenn on Jul 24, 2009 (Alaska)As you would expect, nothing to be concerned about. I wanted white to hide it easier along my white walls, this worked. I would buy it again.
Flexible Wire
(4 out of 5) by J. Compton on Jul 4, 2009 (USA, MO)The wire was flexible so easy to work with. I am not sure what advantage oxygen free gives you. But overall good wire for the price.
