Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Monster Standard THX-Certified Speaker Cable (100 Feet)
Customer Review: Great speaker wire to work with
Summary: 5 Stars
I started out with lamp cord cable from Radio Shack (they called it speaker cable). It was very rigid cable which made it a pain to work with. Short of stapling it to the floor, I don't think it would stay close to the wall. It was also a very bright gold color and stuck out like a sore thumb.
In comparison, the Monster cable seems to stick to the edge of the wall. It was like it was magnetized! I have the cable ran in front of a door (no other option). I couldn't do it with the Radio Shack cable but with this speaker cable you can hardly tell it's there. I also have it going up the wall to the speakers and it doesn't stick out as bad as the Radio Shack cable.
Finally, I don't see the sense of buying expensive equipment and using cheap cables to connect it together. I'm not saying to buy Monster all the way. There's now way I'd spend spend the kind of money they want for their cables but at the price this speaker cable is on sale, your aren't going to save much buy getting cheap lamp cable.
Customer Review: MONSTER OF A DEAL! GREAT PRICE FROM AMAZON!

Monster Standard THX-Certified Speaker Cable (100 Feet)
I AM SO GLAD I PURCHASED THIS SPEAKER CABLE FROM AMAZON.COM AT SUCH A GREAT PRICE! I UPGRADED ALL MY SPEAKER CONNECTIONS FOR MY NEW 7.1 CHANNEL DIGITAL RECEIVER AND I WAS ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT SPENDING A FORTUNE, AND THAT IS BY USING ALL THE SPEAKERS I ALREADY OWN. MY NEW LCD TV & BLU-RAY PLAYER ARE CONNECTED TO MY RECEIVER AND OH BOY- WOW! WHAT A DELIGHT IT IS TO SIT IN MY LIVING ROOM & HEAR THE CRISP & CLEAR SORROUND SOUND REPRODUCTION FROM THE RECEIVER!
ALSO THE SOUND QUALITY I GET WHEN I PLAY MUSIC CD's - I FEEL AS I WERE AT THE ORCHESTRA HALL - WHAT A JOY! I TRULY RECOMMEND THIS MONSTER SPEAKER CABLE!
Customer Review: Great wires
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to rewire my surround system and not have the wires all over the room, but the wires that came with the system weren't long enough, so I gave this a chance. I didn't really expect to hear a difference. Once I finished rewiring, I put the system on with a DVD (LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring) and was amazed that the system actually sounded better. I thought it was just me, so I called my wife and asked her to see if the speakers are working properly without telling her that I heard a difference. Her first comment was that the system sounds much better than before (I did buy the Monster Cable THX-GP 20-Pack Standard THX-Certified Gold-Plated Speaker Connectors with this, but I dont know if that makes a difference or not)Customer Review: Good Cable
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many others have said, you pay a bit of a premium for Monster cable and it's very questionable whether there is any better quality or not. I bought this cable anyway dispite it being a bit more than standard speaker cable. The construction is good and 100ft was perfect for the room i was wiring up (5.1 surround). I was able to write on one side of the cable with a sharpie as it's nearly flat(which was nice in my situation). I will buy it again because to be honest, your audio setup is only as good as the least expensive part and if crappy cable is it, then you might notice it in the sound quality. I didn't want to take a chance and purchased the monster cable. Overall very happy with the product.Customer Review: One of the best speaker wires!

You can't go wrong with Monster's quality. No need to buy the "Ultra" or "Deluxe" versions which are way too expensive, this "Standard" version is really good too.
The main thing in speaker wires is the gauge (i.e. thickness). The thicker the wire the better it is. This is 16 gauge so it retains excellent sound quality even over long distances such as 40-50 feet from the Receiver.
Acoustics Research makes good 16 gauge wires too but they are hard to find. Monster is a bit expensive but due to its popularity is widely available and if you are lucky may find it on sale too!
