Serious, sensible speaker cables

ELAC makes great speakers, and great speakers deserve great cables. ELAC's Sensible speaker cables are made from durable 14-gauge wire in a rugged nylon-braided PVC jacket with polyethylene dielectric insulation, so your speakers get an exceptionally clear and clean signal. The conductors inside are 99.99% oxygen-free copper, which helps to deliver pure, accurate sound. And, of course, the connectors are top-notch, too: they're made from 24-karat gold-plated beryllium copper for a rock-solid connection and superior noise rejection.

99.99% oxygen-free copper conductors
24K gold-plated beryllium copper banana connectors

Featured review

Well made good quality cables. Do they really improve sound quality over the cheap speaker wire that I had been using previously? I dunno. I do now have peace of mind that speaker cables are not the weak point in my two-channel system and that is worth something.

Customer Q&A

How are the banana plugs secured to the wire? Are they welded, soldered or do they just use set screws?

The connector itself uses threads to be held in place, but not threads of a screw. It is the barrel of the connector that has them and they work in such a way as to not come unscrewed during use

4 questions already asked

I previously had cables with a gold pin connector to my amp. Will the banana plugs be similar, so as to connect without issue?

Greetings Michael. Thank you for your question. Pin connectors and banana connectors are far different. If your components have the 5 way binding posts, you can use banana connectors.

What a pair means? The wires required for two speakers or the two connectors in a wire?

roberto Dec 18, 2022

1 answer

A pair in this case means two speaker cables for hooking up two speakers.

Do you know if these are compatible with the Shinola Bookshelf speakers?

ron Aug 30, 2023

1 answer

Greetings Ron, and thank you for your question. We do not carry the Shinola line of speakers, but if they have whats called 5 way binding post's, these cables will fit. Banana plugs and connectors are a universal size, so if your speakers have them these will plug in.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
