I bought a 36' pair of Belden 10 gauge speaker wire (5T00UP) to replace an older Straight Wire coax speaker cable. The Belden sounds at least as good, if not better than, the Straight Wire, and required virtually no break-in to sound truly excellent. The 36' length presented no problems for a 70 watt intergrated. A great value from Blue Jeans Cable and excellent, fast service as well. A very good, unhyped product at a reasonable price.
