Cables are always a great subject of debate. For me, it's quite simple: it has to be sturdy and reliable along with a solid conductor that's been soldered. The Pro Snake cable has all that for a price that can't be beaten! When ordering speaker cables, I always look for the 2,5mm2 type cable because you'll know for sure the bass response will be great and I'm always looking for that (I'm a guitarplayer btw). This cable won't let you down; solid connectors, well soldered, great solid conductor and sturdy; what more would you want....Due to these features, the cable itself is heavy. That's the only thing I could imagine could be an issue for someone. But I take that weight with much pleasure due to all the other vital good things this cable delivers!
