Digital camera reviews of Philips Spooled Speaker Wire - 100ft - 16 gauge
Digital camera Review: The wire is great
Summary: 5 Stars
The wire is great. A quick comment: Yes, there is a faint white line on one of the wires making it VERY easy to distinguish one from the other to line up the wires. Earlier critics need to buy some good glasses.Digital camera Review: Very good!
Summary: 5 Stars
Good wire. I used it for a surround sound system and the quality of sound is great. I recommend it.Digital camera Review: Why buy Monster cable when you can get this for 1/2 the price!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got this 16 gauge wire today and used it on my Onkyo TX-SR705 install, with banana plugs and they work beautifully. Highly recommended, you cannot beat this price for what you get, I got 2 spools for the price of what 1 Monster Cable spool would have been.Digital camera Review: Wire Gauge Vs. Speaker Wattage
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems like a LOT of people (including me) over spent on speaker wire because they listened to others and simply didn't know better.
Here is a VERY simple table to help you potentially save quite a few $$ and buy the right speaker wire that fits your speakers. Wire gauge ties directly into the wattage it can handle. Amazing what a little research turns up instead of listening to "know-it-all" salesmen.
Use 16 gauge for 50-100W speakers
Use 14 Gauge for 100-150W speakers
Use 12 Guage for 150W+ speakers
I don't know anyone running 150W+ per speaker in their how, so save a few bucks and buy what you need (which for those of us who'd like to have hearing when we're 60), would probably suit quite well with 16 gauge.
As you can imagine there's nothing special about Monster speaker cable. Copper is copper. Slap on a branding and great marketing and it's no wonder they screw over thousands of stupid people with a 3-10x markup on cables, wires, connectors, etc...
Digital camera Review: Wire me baby!
Summary: 5 Stars
This wire is great for your surround/stereo equipment.
The plastic coating is flexible and thick. The coating strips easily. The wire holds its shape when twisted.
Can you believe 100 feet of wire at this price? This is an amazing deal.
Buy 2 spools if you're wiring a 7.1 or higher system.
