What is the strand count and how does it compare to other high end speaker wire?

I have no idea what the strand count is, however, the quality of sound is exceptional. I am using this wire with two different Denon receivers, one system is 7.1 Surround and the other 5.1. As I switch the software categories from one mode to the other, the effects respond appropriately giving me a great listening experience. That tells me the wires are working as advertised.

You can use 14 or 16 AWG speaker wire. I used 14 AWG plastic coated wire from Monoprice. Copper wire is best. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?seq=1&fo;rmat=2&p;_id=2791&kpid;=2791&CAWELAID;=1329459423&CAGPSPN;=pla&catargetid;=320013720000063196&cadevice;=c&gclid;=CL7F3MGko8ICFdKEfgodOIkARA

If a simple wire is going to make the difference your sound system then you are way more advanced then me. 16awg is more than potent for any system regardless of manufacturer

Thanks for the info. I bought my surround set up and stands a few weeks ago and was able to run 14 gauge wires thru the stands (I just ran the wires before I put the upper tubing with the lower tubing) and I just used a mini flathead screwdriver to guide the wire out of the wire exit.

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

Each speaker only needs 2 wires. 16 gauge wire is perfect for these speakers. These speakers sound very good.

Hello M Kress: The manufacturers include 11ft of wire. This can be increase to a longer one or much longer one if needed. We recommend 16gauge or 14 gauge outdoor speaker wire. IT has come to our attention from the manufacturer that in future versions they will include 15 feet of wire.

Speaker wire does not come with the speakers, you have to purchase them separately. You can buy them on Amazon.com, make sure you get the 100 ft wire. The thicker the wire, the better he sound. Thin cheap wire will not, give your Speakers quality sound.

It is only about 8 feet. You can use a longer one than the one supplied with the speakers, (there's nothing special about it) but I would use a heavier gauge speaker wire. I would still, even then keep the length under 14 foot long. The wire terminals on the back of each speaker will accommodate a very heavy gauge wire. I kept the 8 foot length, but replaced the original wire with a heavier one anyway~

I would suggest using the same gauge low voltage speaker wire that came with the speakers or better yet a little larger gauge wire ( lower gauge number (#14) is a larger wire & less resistance than (#16) if you are going a very long distance between the speakers. I have not purchased a spool for a while but standard #16 gauge insulated wire will probably do what you need and Amazon or Wal-Mart probably has a 100 ft. spool available online or in the store. Hope this helps!

Yes. I'm currently using t to power two outdoor mid size marine speakers and it is more than adequate. As to the wire gauge and length it seems marginal. A step up in wire size would be my choice. I'm far from an expert on speaker wire however the length seems to be considerable. good luck.

The speaker wires are about 5 ft. long and are the standard two-wire type that are very easy to connect at both ends. I would say they are the "standard" type.

Depends- electrical wires, i would say 3 or 4- speaker wire (or the same thickness as speaker wire) 6-8. Hope this helps.

Im sure that the speaker wires in your walls are of better quality than the ones that are supplied with the unit. usually the ones they send with the unit with what you would call starter wires. i always upgrade my wires with at least 16 gauge name brand wires . Such as monster cable.

I purchased from Amazon: GLS Audio Premium 12 Gauge 100 feet Speaker Wire - True 12AWG Speaker Cable 100-Feet Clear Jacket - High Quality 100' Spool Roll 12G 12/2 BulkHappy with it. You will need a magnifying glass and good light to determine positive and negative label.

I used 14g because I did not run them more than 20 ft from the source. I looked up the recommended wire size in a chart I found by searching the internet for speaker wire recommendations.

I don't know how long it will be before the wire insulation (coating) starts degrading and breaking down. To be on the safe side, if I were you I would rather use speaker wires meant for outdoor installation such as these: Black - 16/2 Awg 50 FT Increments Direct Burial AND CL3 Rated In Wall - Speaker Wire/Cable - Indoor/Outdoor - Premium Home/Outdoor Audio/Low Voltage Lighting 50FT Stranded
