Does anyone know anything about this speaker wire?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5723619500&fromMakeTrack=true

I know it is small, 18 gauge, but it will probably work for surrounds won't it. Right now I have 16 gauge white wire on a gray wall, which is not very pretty.

Let me know what you think.

    I'm using the Monster version of that, and I don't have any problems with it running my f/x1000 surrounds.

    Are you planning on painting the wire?

    Thanks Brett and Tour. I think I will go ahead and order some to try it with my surrounds. The distance is somewhere between 25-30 feet and I will probably have RT15's or comparable.
    I might try to paint it. The rental house we are in has medium gray walls, so if I can find some leftover paint I'll put a thin coat on it.

    That $15 price is pretty good, but try to see if you can find it in the cream color. That's what I'm using and it's really not all that detectable........painting over the clear coated copper cable wtih the pink looking tint might be a little odd.......

    Is it really $60 retail? Cause I've seen rolls of it at xscargo for $10 or 15 cdn.

    There will ALWAYS be those that are content paying retail......I'm sure the shops don't mind.
