great sound, easy to conceal
|
Comment:
I upgraded my system to 7.1 and needed a good wire that I could surface mount and conceal reasonably easily. The AR PR361 fit the bill perfectly. My system is complete and sounds awesome and I was able to run the additional speaker lines and keep them hidden fairly well. I would say it's a must have if you don't have the option to run your speaker wire through conduits inside your walls.

This cable will turn yellow in less than 5 years!
|
Comment:
I bought some of their cable back in 2005 and it's now yellow. This is due to cheap fire retardant chemicals in the plastic/rubber sheathing. I'd suggest trying a different manufacture if this might bother you.

Flat and inexpensive!

Comment:
I uploaded a photo to the gallery above comparing the Acoustic Research PR361 to regular 16AWG cable and in-wall 16AWG cable. As you can see, the Acoustic Research cable isn't really much thinner than regular 16AWG cabling. However, the benefit comes from the flat, rectangular shape of the cable that makes it much easier to lay across a living room floor and under a rug without curling or twisting up. It also feels a bit heavier than regular cable so once you lay it out, it'll stay put better than lighter cables.
Pros:
- Flat, rectangular shape is much, much easier to work with because it doesn't twist up as easily.
- Feels a bit heavier than regular cable so it'll stay put once you lay it out.
- Despite being a "special" thin cable, it's actually cheaper than the regular cables that you'll find at brick & mortar stores.
Cons:
- Not wafer thin like I had hoped, but still good enough.

Girlfriend Might Cry, but great CABLE

Comment:
Well i received the cable so i could cable my apartment with my new 5.1 system. Well as soon as i started ripping up the carpet my girlfriend busted into tears and told me that i am ripping apart the carpet and that she didn't want me to run the speaker cable. Well i thought i had wasted 50 bucks and 100ft in speaker cable, until i assured her that everything would be ok. I ended up running the cable and it fit wonderfully underneath my carpet. I can not feel it at all on my feet, and you can't even see it under the carpet. I would recommend this cable to anyone trying to run speaker wire underneath their carpet. It worked great for me. It sort of stinks running it around a corner but other then that great cable.

Good cable, no connectors as advertised
|
Comment:
Very nice product, thin and flat, fits under carpet, on baseboards, is paintable, and has the + side clearly marked. Description says 30, 50, and 100 ft. spools come with pin connectors, but I ordered a 50 ft. spool, they were missing, returned it and got a replacement. No connectors again! Had to buy my own connectors and solder them on. Aaside from this it works great with my hi-def system.
