Caution Monster XP Spkr Wire

While hooking up my DEF TECH SM 65's yesterday I discovered that Monster XP spkr wire has TWO layers of insulation. First is the thick pink part that is stripped off. Then underneath that there is Another layer that is very thin & almost transparent. It is very easy to miss removing this thin layer and a poor connection will result if this is overlooked.

I will also caution that this is one of the poorest sounding cables on the market. Do yourself a favor and try something (anything) else in your rig. Your speakers and your ears will be glad....

The acoustic zen satori blows this away. You can find 8' pairs here all the time for 375 bucks. No comparison. I used the monster xp for years and can say now that I have tried others in my systems over the years that you can do much better and that there is a huge audible difference.
