Digital camera reviews of Philips Spooled Speaker Wire - 100ft - 16 gauge
Digital camera Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent and affordable alternative to the overly priced Monster cable. My new Klipsch system recommended using Monster cable that was over 100$ for 50 feet. I decided to go ahead and buy the Philip's wire and it works great; not a problem in the world. Definitely recommend.Digital camera Review: Great Quality
Summary: 4 Stars
The quality is great. A little difficult to identify + / polarity markings, but for the price it is really worth all the savings.Digital camera Review: Great inexpensive speaker wire
Summary: 4 Stars
Not much to say here. This stuff is a decent gauge, decent price, and as usual, Amazon's shipping is excellent.
I used two rolls of this to hook up 7 speakers for surround sound.
As others have noted, it is difficult to see the marking on the one wire, but not a big deal.
Digital camera Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just speaker wire so not much to it. Used it to connect my home theater (bought two rolls), sounds great and was cheap!Digital camera Review: I find these reviews to be funny
Summary: 4 Stars
First in response to the one guys buying guide on gauge, gauge should be decided more on the distance of the run than the wattage you use so his guide is totally wrong. 16 gauge on short runs will handle any wattage that is going to be used in a house.
If you are going to run speakers farther than 15' each speaker I would suggest 14 gauge or in wall I would suggest 14 or 12 gauge. If wire is going to be ran under carpets and walked on I would use a heavier gauge also. 12-14
As far as there being no difference between no names and big names there is a difference but it doesn't matter to most. Some styles of Monster have a special way the outer wire is wrapped which reduces interference. They also have a little tougher housing. Is it worth the difference in price to home users? Not really... For the most part most humans can not tell any difference when compared head to head and who cares what a meter can hear if you can't tell a difference with your ears?
