What can I say.the wire works and the off white color doesn't stand out. Used this to wire a 5 speaker surround in my apartment. This was exactly enought wire (with some slack to each speaker) for a 5.1 setup in a 15x20 room.
Our walls and trim are an off-white, so this cable matched perfectly. I bought this wire because it was a great price for the product. Definitely a good buy. It bends around doors and corners wonderfully. I've used Acoustic Research cabling in the past and their products are solid.I actually bought this specifically after reading other reviewers received "antique white" colored wire. At the time of this writing, you can actually see the label "antique white" in the large picture description.
The product is good and the price is much better than many stores. I bought this for my new Home Theater system in our finished basement. It does the job.
I ordered another set of these wires once more since i liked them so much. Plus not to mention that i am using a good AV receiver which needs good wires. Frankly middle age has caught up with me. and i take things much easier now without making a big fuss.I am aware that any thick shielded wire will always do a good job of total sound imaging; this is especially true when you are working with a semi-highend A/V Receiver like Yamaha RX-V1800BL 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black).
But i can tell the sound definitely has changed from even those low end Panasonic speakers. AMAZING Wire. i may need them for the next 7.1 upgrades. I had forgotten how this stuff works and it took me a while to get into it again. Plus i needed a propper cutter. This is very good tool for novices who did not cut wires before.
i have been just putting it off till i eventually get a mid-range amp. i want to be honest as i review this wire and the Irwin 2078305 Vise-Grip 5-Inch Wire Stripper and Cutter wire cutters together. until i got the wires together. After a few tries, i felt i was cutting perfect wires again. or in my case haven't touched this in about 10 years. The Irwin 2078305 Vise-Grip 5-Inch Wire Stripper and Cutter took care of that process. They were easy to cut too; much easier than the Monster cables. They are reasonably priced too.
I have not installed a custom system in about 10 years. Let me talk about my setup for a second before i dwell into the wire itself:Yamaha RX-V1800BL 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)Polk Audio Monitor Series CS2 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Cherry)Yamaha YST-SW325 8-Inch Advanced YST II and QD-Bass Subwoofer, BlackFront and rear channels are still stock Panasonic speakers Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD - Blu-Ray disc player - upscalingVenturer HD DVD Player - SHD7000OPPO DV-980H 1080p Up-Converting Universal DVD Player with HDMI and 7.1CH AudioApple MA711LL/A TV with 40GB Hard DriveI was running some twisted pair cables on the entire grid of speakers and when i bought the amp, i was advised to upgrade the cables. u can tell how much a good speaker wire can change the total sound output. Back in Denver and in Jeddah i used to get into meticulous details of how these things should be cut and installed etc. It took me a while (sadly i lost allot of the Monster wire learning to cut again). piece) (since i realized that center channel output has to be the best possible) The rest of the Polk/Panasonic stock speakers i got the ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AP-16100W 100' White 16 Gauge Oxygen-Free Speaker Wire. This wire upgrade was about 5 years late. For the center speaker cable explicitly i got the Monster Cable XPMS-30 Monster XP Clear Jacket (Compact Speaker Cable 30 ft.
I used it for my outside and inside speakers and it looks and sounds fine great deal. This is just right for your house speakers it is heavy and well made. One role is alot of wire.
