 Nice stuff January 4, 2007

Nice beefy stuff. It has a thread inside the CL jacket so it is easy to strip back...you just pull on it to cut the jacket. The speaker wire inside is well insulated and the conducter is high quality.
 Expensive, but it has benefits May 3, 2008

If you check out many of the audio/video website forums, and home theater forums, you find that members rail against Monster products for being overpriced. That may be, because to deliver audio to your speakers, there really is no difference, electrically, between $1/ft Monster cables and $0.20/ft generic speaker wire of similar gauge (or lamp chord for that matter). However, there are definite benefits to this product that justifies the price to me.
The beauty of this XPHP-CI cable is that is has a high strand count, which means it is very flexible. Fishing it around walls is easier than if the cable was stiff, as you would get with thicker but less strands of other cables. This is also useful for in-room speaker connection cable - say from your amp to the wall plate or the wall plate to your speaker, as the flexible cable will lay where you put it and you are not fighting it or bending it or worried the working you are doing will weaken the joint at the banana plugs you've put on the ends.
The other benefits, well, the clear covers means its attractive and blends better than brown, white, black, grey, you name it. The CL3 rated jacket means its firecode compliant to run inside of walls. And the beefy nature of the cable means you have some meat to attach those banana plugs to.
Sure, a 16ga spool of any wire will do electrically, even for high power setups so long as you don't run 200feet, but it wont look and feel the same and not inspire the same confidence that the connectors you put on it will stay put for the long haul. But you do pay for Monster products.
I don't buy all of the marketing about it making your music sound better. Its an electrical conductor made of copper like every other cable. I do know that the look and feel and workability are worth the premium price to me.
Monster Cable is the best February 17, 2007

Being a tech geek of sorts, I always want the best (I can afford) in gear
for either home use or musical instrument use. I've always used Monster Cable
products, and in developing my home cinema room, I had to have the best. The
Monster XPHP-CI speaker cable is great cable. The sound I am getting is a
noticeable improvement over older Monster cable of similar gauge. Whatever
they improved on, it was the real deal. Crystal clear, near perfect sound.
My only reservation on Monster is using their audio/video cable for the
components. Their new "turbine" wound tips on the RCA plugs are too tight.
Other than that, they are still the best. For speaker cable, definitely go
with the XPHP-CI!

Excellent build Quality. I would strongly recommend this cable for all your speaker connections especially if you are running your speaker wire through the walls. Reproduces excellend sound; probably the best speaker cable in this price range.
