I am lazy when it comes to writing reviews, but I loved this speaker wire so much a) because of how soft pliable it is b) the way it sits on the floor, and c) because of the high strand count, that I couldn't help but give it a positive review. It is slightly difficult to splice but once you figured it out it's fine. I used a splicer and cut with the 12 guage portion, since it didn't cut all the way, slightly torqued with my fingers and the pulled the cut part out. Highly recommended, and will buy again.
