It's often argued that using name brand, or high quality speaker wires can bring out the best performance from any high quality speaker system. While there is some merit to the idea of using high quality cables, it seems many companies have taken this idea far beyond it's logical limits and in so doing created a whole new snake oil industry. Bottom line, when it comes to speaker wire, if they’re talking about special alloys, magical filaments or direction specific wires and charging tens, hundreds or even thousands of dollars per foot, chances are, they’ve probably crossed the line.

The truth is, one of the best materials for transferring electrical signals is pure copper. Higher grade copper will offer less signal resistance and have less tendency to corrode or tarnish underneath the jacket. Monoprice offers high purity, oxygen-free, all copper speaker wires that deliver high fidelity, wide frequency range and low signal loss. These cables are capable of delivering loud, clear and crisp audio reproduction limited only by the quality of the equipment you are using.
