This cable is a 4 conductor cable. Each conductor is a 14 awg, 105 strand wire. I'm using this cable both a as bi-wire cable, and as a normal speaker cable (using 2 conductors for +ve, and 2 for -ve). My local Monster dealer charges $2 per foot, which is 50% cheaper than the next level-up cable, and it sounds as good as anything I've ever used. It really brings out the bass. I was very impressed with this cable, both overall, and for the money.
