Product Description

Typically, the speaker wire that's included with all-in-one home theatre systems doesn't come with connectors. Over time, the exposure to air causes the bare copper wire to corrode. That's why THX, the industry leader in sound quality certification for movie theatres, collaborated with Monster Cable to create connection standards specifically for home theatre speaker connections.Monster THX connectors ensure the highest quality speaker connections.

Not so impressive.......2007-05-30

I bought these speaker connectors to use on the Monster brand THX speaker wires. The crimpable gold connectors are ok, however, the rubber cover sleeve is average at best. What I can't understand is the amount of loose-ness of the rubber sleeves when they are designed to stretch to fit almost any thickness speaker wire. Thus, the rubber sleeves on my Monster brand 16-gauge (standard thickness) speaker wires are very loose making me concerned that the exposed speaker wire will corrode over time due to the exposure to air caused by the loose rubber sleeves. I can't believe Monster didn't design the opening of these sleeves to be narrower so that the rubber can stretch a little and form a tight fit with the speaker wires.

No extra connector in case one damaged, good for connecting wires and saving them from wear, but not the highest quality, however a great price for the product

Good product.......2007-04-05

These speaker connectors are very nice for small speakers (I have a Sony 5.1 package). I'm using these with the 16 gauage wire from Monster Cable - Monster Standard® THX-Certified Speaker Cable.

I found the connectors fit the wire perfectly. You do not need to solder these, pliers or another "crimping" device will work just fine. All together, they offer a very good connection. I tried connecting the wire with and without the connectors and I couldn't really tell a difference in sound. However, I think it offers a "cleaner" connection so if you ever need to move a speaker or disconnect devices for cleaning, it is handy. You do not have to worry about pieces of wire wearing down and breaking. Also, the color coded wire slips are nice when setting up your speakers, helps you identify which ones positive (+) or negative (-). I read some people complaining about no + or - signs on the wire. I believe one side of the cable has writing on it, so pick! If you get confused by that, I'm sorry that life is so hard on you.

I know people like to say Monster is overrated and overpriced. However, out of all the connectors and wire I looked at this was by far the cheapest. From my experience, when dealing with analog signals, a higher quality cable does help. Digital is another sotry, quality doesn't matter because you either get a signal or you don't- simple as that.

Overall, I'm happy with this product and highly recommend it. I hope this helps.

Easly crimps to wires, using plyers.wont pull out of terminals as easy as a bare wire. The only impovement would be if they could have added an extra terminal or two incase you mess one up ,if the wire slips out while your crimping it theres no saving it.

Good value, but no banana plugs.......2005-08-30

This package of connectors really is a great value but buyers should be aware that it only has tip connectors. Since a lot of subwoofers have connections that don't really work with a tip connector (my Yamaha is one) I had to spend an additional amount for banana plug connectors to complete my setup.

Other than that issue, the connectors were easy to install on the wiring. (I would recommend a 16 gauge wire for a good snug fit.) Unless you are running a high-end configuration, these connections should perform very well for you and be dependable until you upgrade your system.
