This, for me, is one of the best quality speaker cables I have ever purchased or used. The quality of this cable has withstood heavy use for many years and has never shown any sign of giving up. The reliability of this cable alone makes it worth buying! I have used it as a speaker cable for a bass amp, with both ends attached to a Neutrik speakon connector. The well insulated, thick core cables are ideal for bass as they add little noise and in my experience, give a slightly better bass response than cables with thinner cores. They are a little bit more difficult to connect to Speakon connectors because of the thicker cores, but this is the only minor downside8 have notices.
