A Pretty good product
Raptor makes good speaker wire. Good insulation, true 12 gauge size. They color the wires a red color and a silver color. This makes it easy to tell the difference between the "+" and "-" side of the wire. The wire is fairly flexible and provides for a good combination between thick, low resistance speaker wire and flexibility for installation.
Unfortunately the copper strands within the insulation are quite fragile. A slight mistake when using a gauged wire stripper can result in many strands being cut. I find the speaker wire from Monoprice to be less fragile in this respect, and cheaper as well.

High quality
High quality of wire for such a low cost. I needed longer wire for my home theater. Works great.

Attractive High Quality Wire
The "Raptor" wire is very attractive speaker wire. There is centimeter or so of clear plastic insulation that makes the wire look very thick and robust, which has some aesthetic value. The two strands are marked in silver and copper colors, so identifying stands is easy. The wire was easily installed in banana-plugs as well. I recommend this to anyone looking for decent speaker wire. It is just as good as Monster cables (which are smaller gauge if I recall) and is significantly cheaper. You can't go wrong here.

Shorted
Pretty inexpensive wire compared to some other brands, but does the job OK. I'm no audiophile, so I can't tell the difference. Only thing that makes me give it a 3 rating is that, as another poster had mentioned, I don't think I got 50 feet of wire. I only needed about 47-48 feet and I was short by a couple feet! I never actually measured it, but by what I needed it was obvious that the spool didn't contain 50'. Otherwise, buying thru Amazon makes it easy, especially with free shipping over $25. I couldn't find 12GA wire at any of the 'big box' stores like Best Buy or Circuit City.

METRA Ltd S12-50 12 Gauge Clear Speaker Wire
The 12 guage wire was the correct wire guage for our Home Stereo / HD systems. The wire jacket is for in wall runs. I expect to get many years of performance and enjoyment running our 5.1 system with this cable.
Amazon's price was very good; and shipment was fast!
