Benchmark Speaker Cable - NL2 to Banana - 2 pole

I bought these Benchmark cables to replace my EQ ZeroPoint cables. The build quality is excellent, the connectors are solid, and installation was effortless. Sound-wise, I was surprised by how similar they were. Benchmark may have a slight edge in fit and finish, but both cables are transparent and let the system do the talking. It turns out the distance between ZeroPoint and Benchmark isn’t exactly infinite. If you’re coming from EQ ZeroPoint, expect great craftsmanship and performance rather than a night-and-day change.

Speaker Cable Review

I've ordered several interconnect and speaker cables from Benchmark over the last few years and I've always found them to be excellent. The quality of construction is outstanding and in use, the cables have been trouble-free. This particular speaker cable I purchased was used on my center channel speaker and used with my excellent Benchmark ABH2 amplifier. A wonderful match!

They sound great. I was never really happy with the spade lugs on my old setup. I enjoyed speaking with John at the capital audio Fest last November and was impressed with the distortion numbers using speak on connections versus spade lugs. Interestingly transparent audio sells a pair of speaker cables believe it or not for $84,000 using spade lugs. I could have purchased 350 pair of the benchmark cables for that price. You guys make a really great professional grade products for a not astronomical price.
