Does the job amazingly
Got this to hook up my Wharfedale Diamond 11.0 Bookshelf Speakers Blackwood and can say they did the job with ease. I did want to change up the design of the cables so they were not just standard looking cables coming out of the speaker.If any one wants to do the some type of project of insulating the wire in a sheath then you can pick up some 4mm Paracord like ( XIAONAN 100FT 31M Type III Mil Spec 7 Strand 550 100% Nylon Paracord Parachute Cord Rope, Retail Packaging, Red ), heat shrink wire wrap ( Am-Tech Heat Shrink Wire Wrap Assortment (127 Pieces ) ) and some banana plugs ( UGREEN Banana Plugs 24K Gold Plated, 8 Pair Closed Screw Banana Plug Connectors for Speaker Cable,Corrosion-Resistant ,8 Red, 8 Black ).Packing was simple and easy to open, the cable came with so much that even if you make a mistake you have plenty spare to try again. It delivers great connection to the speakers with loss of audio quality.

Good quality speaker cable. It is decently thick so was quite a tight fit into my mini desktop amp but managed okay and working perfectly. Banana plugs would have made it easier.

As long as its suitable guage for the application, speaker wire has no noticeable impact on sound. No need to waste money on fancy cables unless for aesthetic reasons. This works great and is a very fair price.

I used this product to rewire my mk1 MX5, after 31 years the original cable had multiple repair attempts and a very questionable past. I bought this cable because it was cheap and i didn't want to use my expensive 16 guage wire on this job. However im struggling to find any reason to but expensive cable again!

Side by side there identical as any 16 guage cable should be. Testing with a multimeter with 5M lengths yielded identical results to my name brand cable. The insulation is great, very flexible and durable. I only with they selled bigger spools!
