I have a few cables. The oldest is by Monster standard -THX certified, OFC (16awg), 2008 purchased, currently not available. This is very fine quality cable and I am still using it as primary cable fitted with banana plugs. I also have a MX 16awg cable (OFC). MX is an Indian Brand. This is my optional cable ready and fitted with banana plugs in case I want to run speakers with different amplifier. One more cable is SCP (Structured cable products) 16awg OFC, American brand. This is optional. All my cables have standard length of 3 meters app. each side and I have no problem with any of the cables.
