 Do not ship by USPS -- Cable looked well-built, not sure of quality since my system is brand new October 31, 2008

USPS claimed to be at my door on the 27th and left a note 7PM. There was not a note. We were at home all that day, and I was checking for the expecting package more than 3 times. I would see a note if it was left at my door. Moreover the item was small enough to fit in the key-operated mailbox. They made that deliver attempt up. I called USPS, they had no idea where the package was, but the made-up deliver attempt on their system. After 25 minutes of phone conversation plus waiting time I gave up...Sure enough the package was in the mailbox the next day. DO NOT SHIP BY USPS. THEY SUCK.

i may not kno the technical aspects of this wire, but it does work. one of the options this cable offers, is its in/outdoor compatability. before buying this, i had did a lot of research. the 1st aspect is that it is a 'monster' cable. secondly, the price on amazon for this product is unbeatable EVERY WHERE ELSE. dont settle for cheaper cables, monster had a warranty on their cable and i dont think im ever gonna be replacing these bad boys any time soon.

It works great. I gave it 4 stars only because it is a pain to strip off the outer cover to get to the 2 wires. Great wire though!

Don't buy cheap speaker wire to hook up your expensive speakers.
With speaker wire, you get what you pay for. The Monster speaker wire delivers great sound and is very thick and sturdy. Very well constructed and works great when strung through the walls.
Warning, if you are stringing it all through walls and crawl spaces, buy more than you estimate, else you may have to buy what you are short at a local store for a higher price.
Expensive, but it has benefits May 3, 2008

If you check out many of the audio/video website forums, and home theater forums, you find that members rail against Monster products for being overpriced. That may be, because to deliver audio to your speakers, there really is no difference, electrically, between $1/ft Monster cables and $0.20/ft generic speaker wire of similar gauge (or lamp chord for that matter). However, there are definite benefits to this product that justifies the price to me.
The beauty of this XPHP-CI cable is that is has a high strand count, which means it is very flexible. Fishing it around walls is easier than if the cable was stiff, as you would get with thicker but less strands of other cables. This is also useful for in-room speaker connection cable - say from your amp to the wall plate or the wall plate to your speaker, as the flexible cable will lay where you put it and you are not fighting it or bending it or worried the working you are doing will weaken the joint at the banana plugs you've put on the ends.
The other benefits, well, the clear covers means its attractive and blends better than brown, white, black, grey, you name it. The CL3 rated jacket means its firecode compliant to run inside of walls. And the beefy nature of the cable means you have some meat to attach those banana plugs to.
Sure, a 16ga spool of any wire will do electrically, even for high power setups so long as you don't run 200feet, but it wont look and feel the same and not inspire the same confidence that the connectors you put on it will stay put for the long haul. But you do pay for Monster products.
I don't buy all of the marketing about it making your music sound better. Its an electrical conductor made of copper like every other cable. I do know that the look and feel and workability are worth the premium price to me.
