Monster Cable THX-GP 20-Pack Standard THX-Certified Gold-Plated Speaker Connectors |
Editorial Review:
Typically, the speaker wire that's included with all-in-one home theatre systems doesn't come with connectors. Over time, the exposure to air causes the bare copper wire to corrode. That's why THX, the industry leader in sound quality certification for movie theatres, collaborated with Monster Cable to create connection standards specifically for home theatre speaker connections.Monster THX connectors ensure the highest quality speaker connections.
Customer Reviews:
Avg. Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 
Puny Monster:
These pins are adequate only for lower power connections - those using #12 AWG and smaller wire sizes. The barrel into which the wire is inserted for crimping is too small to accommodate #10 Monster Cable.
Color coded speaker wires:
I did not use the pins included here but did want these to color
code my speaker wires. I used the color coding provided on the packaging
and also used these to designate which wire of the pair was "+". I put
the marker on the "+" wire so it is easy to know which wire goes where.
I wish there was a package that just offered the rubber color markings without the pins at a reduced price.
Low end: 
You get what you pay for. Needless to say I didn't get much. These are made for low end small gauge wires for equiptment that is of the same calibur. Oh well.
Not for large gauge wires:
I am using 12 gauge wire for all my speaker runs and wanted this type of connector to terminate them to a pair of Yahama NS1000M speakers. The NS1000Ms are older speakers that use a clamp type terminal. The 12 gauge wire will not fit in the solder cup on the THX speaker pins. Yes you can trim the wire down and with some careful soldering make them work but the color coded caps are not large enough to accmodate the 12 gauge wire. The specs should show the maximum usable wire size but do not.
