KabelDirekt – Pure Copper Stereo Audio Speaker Wire & Cable – Made in Germany – 14 AWG Gauge – 50 feet – (for HiFi Speakers and Surround Sound Systems, Pure Copper, with Polarity Markings)

I have used this wire in a couple installs. The value is fantastic. The wire is very durable with a tough PVC jacketing and the conductors pull apart without much hassle. The insulation strips easily and the copper conductors are ready for use. The wire isn't as flexible as big name brands but for someone needing quality wire without premium pricing then this is the way to go. I'll continue to purchase this wire as long as the wire gauge I need is in stock.

This wire is fairly stiff when received, likely from packaging. Spend 15 minutes drawing it by hand working out the tension, and you have excellent flexible audio wire. I recommend this product.

Absolutely worth it. I was using over 30 year old 16ga Radio Shack cord for my vintage 1970 Marantz system, into Wharfedale Diamond 225s I upgraded to the KabelDirekt 14 gauge using WJSTN-018 braided banana connectors as wire converters to fit the tight spring Marantz connectors. I carefully listened via my old wire prior to installing the KabelDirekt and then after, Incredible difference. Bass response was immediately noticeable. Clarity and Mid range and high separation was a major improvement. Can't believe I used that old cord for many readers is a lifetime!

As described, it's heavy gauge copper wire. Creates clear audio in my setup. Your results may vary. I'm using a 3.1 system with 3 Klipsch Reference (L/R/C) speakers and a Pioneer VSX-821K AVR. I paired this wire with Monoprice right-angle banana plugs. They work great together.As stated by others, the jacket is very thick and rigid. It's easy to strip with a decent pair of wire strippers but it's a bit difficult to separate the wires. I did not run into issue with the copper wires breaking while manipulating the wire nor was any of the copper wiring exposed when separating then wires. I used the plier end of the wire strippers to get the separation started then I was able to separate the rest by hand.I would strongly suggest this wire for budget minded people who want an upgrade over standard 16-gauge wire. -1 star for the jacket being thicker on the outer edge than the inner side where the wires are merged. Ideally the copper wire should run down the middle of the jacket.

Excellent wire. No complaints.

This is great speaker wire for the price. It certainly feel really sturdy and stuff for 14 gauge wire but I liked that about it. The only part that might be annoying to some is that it was hard to separate. If you use dykes or scissors to help get it started it certainly makes it easier to pull apart but still takes some strength. Stripping the insulation took some extra time but not much. With proper wire strippers I made my first cut, rotated the wire for the second cut and then I was able to slide the insulation off using the wire strippers. Twisting the wire you can feel that it’s quality - I actually poked myself a few times because the strands are so stiff - so that could be another annoying part of it. I installed banana plugs on mine so now that it’s done I don’t have to worry about it ever again. I’d certainly buy this wire again. I think 50ft for $18 or so was a pretty good price - and the wire is definitely quality.

Easy to work with and great quality speaker cable. You get what you pay for. Don't use aluminum clad for speakers. OFC should be your only consideration. This is top quality.

A notable improvement in sound quality over small generic cables. And in short (under 15-20 ft) runs I hear no difference between this cable and 'famous brand' audiophile cables many times the price. Well worth the price.

Es lo que dicen ser

I bought this item three times: just to replace my 25 years-old Monster cable for speakers. The first time( 50 ft) didn't cover all my job.The second round did it all ; but my cuts in both cases were too straight, kind of too short, not allowing room for speakers cleanup and maintenance; as results some bananas plugs used in combination to perform the speakers wiring got slightly bent. The third buy is making some existing wiring longer and provide the ability for moving attached devices back and forth or around. The cable doesn't strech and is Oxygen Free Copper; the sound is perfect: fine, clear and clean, all great compare to the one of my old cable which was little heavy. In all it's a Great product for a fair price. Thanks!

The speaker cable is of good quality, thick 14 Guage but still manageable around corners. I used it for my Tannoy height speakers to complete my 7.1 setup. Highly recommended.

Great cable - 14 gauge is perfect for a small lounge room.I installed a new 5.1.4 speaker system using this cable along with a heap of banana plugs and a couple of speaker cable wallplates.Make sure you measure correctly (especially for in-ceiling runs) - I underestimated what I needed (I ordered one 100ft roll plus a 50ft roll). I had to order an additional 50ft roll later. Would have been cheaper to get two 100ft rolls in the first place.Love the red line on one side to indicate the positive wire - more intuitive than the usual white line.

Muy satisfecho con la compra... Excelente calidad y precio
