Excellent product.arrived on time and had all the speaker wire and monster cables necessary for a professional hook up.
You would be better off going to a good audio store and getting monster cable in bulk and putting on the banana clips yourself than using this setup. I cut the pin clips off and replaced with banana clips(which match up with most newer, mid to upper end equipment). The wire is fine, pretty heavy gauge. But the clips used are pin clips that with newer equipment are very hard to use. I did use the component plugs, they were fine.
I plugged one of five speakers in just to test it out and you can notice the difference. Not a HUGE difference, but would recommend if you don't already ave speakers and if you can get them for no more than $30 or so. .but I got these off of another site for $15 shipped. At first I couldn't understand that you put in the metal tip in the clamp on the back of the speaker (probably not technical terms but you get the picture). but that's how it is. So they were worth it. I found them easy to use as I am no professional in home theater hook-up.
i mainly wanted the speaker plugs for my wires but this price was unbeatable. Overall i'm quite pleased but i want to give a 4 cause this price is tooo much. I'm not sure if i'd pay $100 for this but i'm quite surprised how much cleaner my sound is now, but i contribute that to the plugs on the wires. Before i had some $40 speaker wire from Radio Shack that i cut up and pieced together prettier sloppy.The wires are also color coded. So the kit comes with 6 pieces of wire 2 rear, 2 front, center, and a subwoofer. But if i didnt have a component or sub cable already this would be a great incentive, and the plugs give much cleaner sound and the ease of setup due to pre-cut makes it a lot less of a pain to setup.
and lefts are blue and black, i think. I took some metal scissors to it and took my fingers out of them and shut my hands on them and my scissors actually snapped and a piece flew in the air and hit the ceiling, needless to say i'm glad it flew in front of me. The FR and RR wires are both a form of red and black. This way if you upgrade your receiver you automatically know which wire went where.
Before i had tape with marker on it identifying the speaker. The wires are long enough for me, i had to run the rears along the same wall and there was enough length to make one side longer than the other, but i guess that is trivial to your room. I bought this kit from another site for $15. The wires are pretty thick and seem well made.
It also comes with a subwoofer cable and component cable. The packaging is very child proof. So Overall this is a great package.
I bought them because they are thick, flexable and easy to work with. As for sound quality it didnt make a difference on a $250 HT in a box from panasonic. Replaced factory wires of my panasonic ht system. The terminals were a very tight fit on the speakers I had to force them. A great set to keep around for my next system and beyond.
