Mediabridge™ 12AWG Ultra Series Speaker Cable w/Dual Gold Plated Banana Tips (6 Feet) - CL2 Rated - High Strand Count Copper (OFC) Construction - Black [New & Improved Version] (Part# SWT-12B-06B)

i have elac unifi ub5 speakers and the Yamaha R-N803 - i was using some generic, i believe, 14 AWG- just fairly cheap speaker wires without any shielding - unless you count the outer insulation as shielding - anyway i had purchased monoprice banana plugs but was too lazy to install them but i also wanted to upgrade my cables a bit and i had pretty good experience with mediabridge - i have purchased long lengths of Cat5 network cables and also a 25 foot long subwoofer cable. i received the 2 cables from amazon in good time - but one of the speaker cable box's seal was breached but the contents did look unused and brand new. the other box seal was intact. part of the fun in receiving deliveries is the unboxing - someone robbed me of that experience! well at least i was able to open the remaining box. the cable is well constructed - stiff enough but not so stiff that it would not bend. it is flexible enough for some tight application. i went with a pre-constructed with soldered terminators for a solid piece of speaker cable and not going with monoprice banana plugs and speaker wire because they are "loose" pieces - i actually did install the monoprice banana plugs to my AVR set up - nothing wrong with it they appear to work - but i wanted a solid piece of cable and shielding. the installation of the mediabridge speaker cables went smoothly as expected. the banana plugs fit well and snuggly in the Yamaha and elacs - felt like a perfect fit and contact to deliver the power and sound. Speaking of sound - it sounds great - does it sound better? not sure but it made me feel like it sounded better - i may do an A/B test one day if i weren't so lazy! no regrets with the purchase but it's only been a couple of days. thanks for reading. 10/21/19 - still working well. Happy about the purchase and upgrade

I've been fond of Mediabridge cables for years now, as they offer good quality and performance for the price paid. The build construction is solid and comparable to more expensive brands. Picture quality and sound have always been excellent. I ordered this 12AWG cable for a new KEF Q250C center channel speaker and was replacing some 14AWG bare wire speaker cable that I had been using with the Monitor Audio center channel. It's taken me a long time to fully convert to banana plugs, but they make things so much easier. That aside, I'm thrilled with the purchase of this cable. It couldn't be much easier to connect the banana plugs to the speaker and amp terminals, unless some handy-dandy voice assistant automated the process for me. The flexibility of the cable is enough to adjust placement and the connection, but sturdy to the point where breakage or shielding are not a concern at all. The banana plugs secure nicely and the overall simplicity of the color scheme of the Mediabridge cables look nice behind the speaker (not that I'll be looking at it very often). If this cable had a different company's brand stamped on it (e.g. AudioQuest, Chord, QED), the price would easily quadruple, yet the clarity and detail would remain the same. I highly recommend purchasing this.

I used these extremely well made cable to connect a pair of Warfdale speakers to my integrated amp. The solid feel and obvious craftmanship have it over the RCA cable that are like noodles and provide less than satisfying sound. The banana tips make it so easy to make the connection, especially as I like to swap speakers to get different musical presentation. If you want a first class engineered speaker cable, this is the one. One last thing, you have the option of buying different lengths to meet most any use.

I don't write many reviews, but I needed to give credit where it is due I ordered the Mediabridge speaker, optical and coaxial cables to replace the basic Crutchfield cables that I've been using for the past 2 years on my Technics GU-G700 amplifier, Technics SL-G700 CD player and Klipsch Forte IV speakers. I *thought* that cables didn't matter and believed their so-called virtues to be nothing more than snake oil. However, I was sadly mistaken. I can CLEARLY hear an audio difference. It's like a viel has been lifted from the music, and I have to tell you, I *thought* everything sounded awesome and couldn't possibly be improved before using these cables. Boy, was I wrong! I'm not sure if it's the more secure connections, the thicker gauge wire (12 vs 14) or the fact that the optical cable actually CLICKS into the connection slot, but I am absolutley thrilled. Oh, the cables are high quality too! ...makes me wonder how those really expensive cables sound now, but I feel that there may be a point of diminishing returns somewhere along the way. Anyhow, I hope this review helps anyone that's on the fence about buying these!

Just what I expected good value for the money but I didn’t order two thinking that these were sold in pairs. They aren’t.

This is my third mediabridge purchase, and mediabridge never disappoints me. This is the 12 AWG speaker wire with banana plugs attached. Great quality as usual , plugged right into my new klipsch rp 8000f speakers and my onkyo tx8140 amp. ( hint : PUSH them in , don’t be afraid of the little resistance, it’s a good thing ). The wires are soldered into the gold plated banana plugs and it’s a great fit , not loose or wigglely. I can’t speak to the sound , as I have no way to a/b test it, but to my ears the sound is stellar. I also have mediabridge subwoofer cable and loose banana plugs to use with my other systems, they never let me down. This is quality at an excellent price.

I bought these for my stereo system, the Onkyo A9110 with the Elac B6.2 speakers. I should have done this long ago. These speaker cables are nothing less than excellent, and you can tell when you open the box that they are quality end to end. They are somewhat heavy, yet flexible and easy to work with. The gold plated banana plugs fit snugly, and perfectly, and are clearly identified between plus and minus, or positive and negative, whatever. As for sound quality, I can tell you they make a difference, especially on the lower end. The music sounds richer to me. If you own a modern stereo system, these are your cables. They make switching speakers a breeze, they are easy to work with, and your system just might sound a little better!

Very high quality. Awesome appearance. Sturdy connectors. If you are looking for strong, soddered, well made cable, look no further. This is definitely not the type of product you get for free with a speaker or amp purchase. Just make sure you measure, this is not a product you want dangling. The connectors are STRONG and a snag on a cable could lead to disaster - damaged terminals or worse. Sound quality is relative of course and depends on all the common variables. But all things being equal expect a cable of this quality to perform as expected with your situation.

Heavy duty nice cable lossless.

Antes de comprarlos tenía unos kabedirect calibre 14 con bananas que instalé. Decidí cambiarlos por estos por los buenos comentarios y debo decir que se nota la mejora en los medios más nítidos y graves más apretados. A la par compré está misma marca para míi subwoofer Klipsch y el cambio también fue muy notorio con graves más claros y precisos.

Excelente calidad en los materiales, me ha dado buenos resultados
