DCSk - 5m - 2 x 2.5mm² - Black Speaker Cable - German Made OFC Copper Speaker Wire for HiFi or Car Audio - AWG 14 Role - 99.99% Insulated Speaker Cable

There are people who think that all speaker cables sound the same. They just don't. Every cable will sound different with different amps and speaker combinations. So, most audiophiles know that buying high-end speaker wire is a gamble. They get the best results by knowing a high-end dealer who will let them try out different cables until they can make a decision. For the "mid-fi" or "low-end" component buyer, this process usually isn't practical. So, going for excellent "basic" wire is a very practical approach. What you're looking for is pure copper wiring, insulation and a gauge thicker than 16. At 11 gauge (the lower the number, the thicker the wire), this cable is very thick, extremely good basic speaker wire, it's insulated and 99.99% pure copper. Unless you're running exotic speakers or use an exotic amp (we're talking resistance, impedance, etc. here). these cables should deliver very good sound. I'm using them with a Marantz amp and Epos speakers and the system sounds excellent. Even, if you are headed for high-end cables, you might want to start with these, then see if the more expensive stuff can beat them in your system. At this price, this wire is a great investment - and probably all you will need.

Looked every where for decent speaker cable, beware a lot of cables nowadays are copper coated steel (CCS) which is not a very good conductor of electricity and very stiff.These cables are made with high quality materials, real solid copper strands, reasonably soft and pliable.As an electronics engineer with decades of experience I highly recommend these cables. Very good quality and value.

When I bought my HiFi set-up I spoke to a couple of people from HiFi stores who all said that I needed speaker cable that cost over £10 a metre! Although I appreciated their advice, I could not justify spending over a hundred pounds on speaker cable. So I decided to bite the bullet and go for this 10 metre length which cost in total £10. Now my set-up is up and running with the 'cheaper' cable, I have absolutely no complaints. The cable is heavy duty and well insulated. Most of all it does a great job and allows my sound system to come across beautifully.Therefore if, like me, you tend to cringe at the idea of spending a big chunk of your budget on some expensive cable then look no further than this one. Well worth 5 stars.

It's decent wire but then I've never been one to spend loads on speaker wire. I will note, however, that the wires are pretty thick. I took that as a sign of quality. When wiring up to the Amp and the surround sound speakers, I had to cut about a third of the wires to be able to get it into the connectors. My more knowledgeable friends say this wouldn't affect the sound, and it does sound fine.

This has good amount of copper strands inside and has the right thickness to run short to medium lengths. Cable is not too stiff or too soft. The grey line marking on the cable makes it easy to identify the polarity. I use this to connect the front three speakers to AVR. I have been quite impressed with it and have ordered more for surround as well.I dont see the need to spend big $$ on speaker cables as its a very slippery slope once you start to split hairs on sound quality difference between the cables. I have done extensive testing on my own equipment and have concluded its a waste of money to go beyond a price on cables. I have owned Musical Fidelity M6i and Monitor Audio gold GS60 and have swapped the speaker cables with 4 types on it. There was no audible difference among them. Folks owning much more expensive systems will be led to believe cheaper cables will be weak link in their system. They have already spent the money on their system and wont want to settle for lesser cables which 'may' affect the quality of sound. This is how the cable industry is making money out of expensive cables. Some may argue I dont know what I'm talking about but please do yourself a favor and try a blind test listening.I cant make comments like, audio through this cable is smooth, detailed etc because those things are attributes of an speaker or an amp. What I can say is the signal through these dont feel degraded or doesnt pick up any interference form the power cables running over them. Im happy with the quality and consider this one a good value for the money paid.

I am no audiophile, and I don't pretend to be but I DO like my music. Luckily I was able to get a pair of 2nd hand Eltax Speakers, and after reading some glowing reviews about them decided to do the speakers justice by purchasing what I believe to be one of the best quality speaker cables available. I am glad I did! The sound is superb, largely I believe due to the cable I have chosen. Previously the sound was muffled and dull, now there's a clarity and definition to the sound that I couldn't hear before! As you can see from my photos, I have made some different lengths of speaker cable so I can site my speakers at different locations in the living room. I must say, with the combination of Eltax Speakers, this speaker cable and the easy fit banana plugs I connected, i am listening to music I listened to in my earlier years and the sound is AMAZING! So the 2nd hand speakers only cost £20 and I paid 3 times that for 10m cable AND 3 sets of plugs, but it was well worth it! I've rediscovered Dire Straits, Genesis, Eurythmics and much,much more. At times it feels like a sensory delight, when the kids are at school and nursery. If you're ever in any doubt about what speaker cable to buy, take a punt on this. You won't be disappointed! Yes, it's a bit of effort to set things up but you won't regret it. Even through my phone's Bluetooth the quality of the music is unparalleled. I ordered the 10 m - 2 x 2.5 mm² option. Plenty of cable for my needs in a 17ft long living room. A Highly Recommended product from a 5* Seller.
