Monster Cable

Our take on the Monster XP®

by Steve Kindig

Monster XP speaker cable offers high-quality performance at an affordable price. XP is ideal for small speakers and desktop systems. Compared to the standard lamp cord you find at home improvement stores, XP's advanced construction delivers smoother, more natural sound, especially over long runs.

Monster twist-on connectors highly recommended.

Great Quality, But

Written By GC, Columbus, OH on Monday, June 17, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The Monster speaker wire is a great product. The only thing that I was not thrilled with was that the two sides of the wire were not as easily distinguishable as I would have liked. It made installation a tad more of a chore than it needed to be.

Delivers good signal quality

Written By JBRoss, Phoenix, AZ on Friday, March 22, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The wire delivered a good signal and the sound was very good.
Pros:
Not much to say except it delivered as described.
Cons:
Faint markings to distinguish each wire so I marked them with a magic marker before cutting from the spool. There was no gauge designation on the spool's label to indicate the size of the wire. At a minimum, this should be present.

Monster XP cable

Written By Bob, New Jersey on Sunday, February 03, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Easy to work with, lays pretty flat, and seems to carry the audio very well to speakers.
Pros:
Monster cable always a good choice.
Cons:
No negative / psotive ( - / + ) marking on the wire, so if making a long runs, good idea to mark the cable so it is the same as at the other end.

Great solid speaker wire...thin enough to hide in base boards, yet capable of feeding your speakers the power they need to produce amazing sounds.

Audio File/ Pro Quality

Written By JohnR, Newport,TN on Friday, September 28, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
All wire are not created equil. I had 16 ga. speaker wire. I installed 230 ft. of Monster XP. One side of cable has white writting the other plain. you can choose either side to be positive as long as you are consistant thru entire install eliminating color codeing. Monster incorporates other technowledges in there wire besides attention to the wire. I have noticed not only cleaner sound with no distortion but also brought my speakers to life. The Crutchfield advisor told me it is rated at 16 ga. With the differance in performance it is hard to believe. I also use Monster LFE cable and Monster HDMI cables. Regardless of what type system you are wireing up Monster not only out performs all others but also takes the strain off the equipment you are using, as well as you ears and eyes. I agree 100% with another reviewers statement if you spend alot for audio and vidio electronics why would you go cheap on cables. Monster can only make base or mid priced sound and look better.

Pros:
prrofesional grade quality at a affordable price.
Cons:
Have not found any yet.

Only speaker wire I use

Written By MajJaz42, Murfreesboro, TN on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I have to agree with one of the other reviewers; why would you drop a bunch of money into a receiver and speakers, then go cheap on the wiring? I have a 7.1 system in one room and a 5.1 in another room, and it's all Monster cable all the time. Very pleased with the sound quality of both systems, you cannot go wrong with Monster.
Pros:
Great product performance, lasts forever
Cons:
It would be nice if the wire gauge were stamped on the wiring jacket

Good Cable

Written By Andrew, Honolulu, HI on Tuesday, September 18, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I never used more expensive speaker cables before but this cable sound good enough to me. Easy to use, easy to terminate and the jacket is durable. I use 4 of them bi-wiring to my speakers. They sound good.
Pros:
Sound good.
Cons:
No line or marking on the cable to indicate the positive or negative side except for small white writing on the cable. No gauge size is written anywhere.

Best you can find unless you shop car audio supplies

Written By Jason, Colorado on Wednesday, August 08, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This speaker wire is very high quality, it's wound right, it's got a lot of strands, the jacket is very sturdy. The only way you are going to find anything better is by buying some ultra high quality car audio wire, and even then, there won't be much difference. This stuff is the real deal. Why would you spend $1,000+ and then go and skimp on your wiring, makes no sense. If you don't believe me, research the quality of wiring vs. resistance, heat, sound, etc...
Pros:
This stuff is the wire to buy, period.
Cons:
none.

the best speaker wire.

Written By lo slick piggy, yo daddy j or lemon meringue pie!, everett, wa (south-central) on Thursday, June 07, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
the only wire i will use anymore for home speaker systems. it is wound correctly. the jacket is flexible and durable. i have found nothing like it on the market. others claim to be comparable but fall short, get the best.
Pros:
absolutely for the pros, but anybody will be happy with this product.
Cons:
the cons should be happy with this wire too.
