Caution Monster XP Spkr Wire

I was afraid of a response like that but I must say that the Mons XP is notably better than the standard wire i had b4. Would U really describe it as 'one of the poorest'. What else would be recommended w/o shooting the moon? Thanks r

Are U sure that U removed the last layer of insulation described above?

The secondary level of transparent insulation is VERY FINE and can easily be missed. I actually could not get it off w/o using my teeth. Missing this quirk does result in poor sound.

To be clear, I have only discovered this while hooking up the DT's to the B spkr system. I plan on re-checking my own connections to the amp & also Spkr A at the earliest poss opportunity. r

I am also using Monster IC's and they Are very tight. In fact I had to return a pair because I broke turbine collar trying to expand with a needle-nose. A better way is to run the connection in & out a bunch of times on an old shot cd player or tape deck. This is not as risky as trying to pry open.

I am using Mons 400i at this time and they are super. In fact I used them on the Roscoe Remasters.

Thanks but I need 20 feet X 4 spkrs to re-wire my set up. 80 ft of Zen looks like it would be about $1500-- a little out of my range.

I just found out that my Mons XP is only 16 gauge. It looks thicker than that to moi.

Bluejeanscable sells the Canare and also the Beldon 10 & 12 gauge. They say the bigger the gauge, the greater the conductivity.

I wonder though-- would the only difference be that I would have to change my vol, B & T tweaks to accommodate the new wire w/o out any real change in sound quality?

Thanks for all the responses in this topic. r
