 Wire Gauge Vs. Speaker Wattage January 4, 2008
29 out of 29 found this review helpful
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...
16 Gauge February 22, 2007

If you zoom in on the picture, you'll notice that it's actually 16 gauge wire. I received it and can confirm that it's 16 gauge. Wire works fine, although the spool that's held together by two bolts and nuts had one of the nuts missing. It's not a big deal though, and my only disappointment was on my end when I realized 100' wasn't enough to hook up my 7 speakers.
Almost as good as the lamp cord I used for my stereo in the 1970s July 12, 2007

Yes, we had stereos in the 1970s. That was before overpriced monster cable was invented.
This is good heavy gauge wire. Not oxygen-free but cheap. Hey, this is going in our family room; we're not wiring the space shuttle here.
Make sure you order enough. We needed 2 rolls to setup our 7.1 system.
Good 16 gauge speaker wire March 1, 2007

I can verify again that this is indeed 16 gauge wire. This size works very well for small-medium satellite speakers. I am using this wire with a Samsung HT-Q80 HTIB. It's working wonderfully and I'm getting nice crisp sound. Unlike the other reviewer, my spool came fully intact. I would suggest this for anybody looking for good, cheaply priced 16 gauge speaker wire.

There's not a lot to say about something so simple. This is exactly what you'd expect to get at under $0.17 a foot for a small roll: flexible 16-ga speaker wire with a good casing (but not in-wall rated). The wire is a little more flexible than I'd expected (a good thing) but still has a tough casing. I find it perfect for making up monitor leads for temporary configurations instead of hauling around and curling up the excess of my "good" wire I use in my permanent configuration at home. At the time of this review the same wire costs 50% more (before tax) at a well-known national electronics chain.
