Review of Acoustic Research PR221 Speaker Wire 12 AWG Oxy Free Copper, 50 ft spool

November 30th, 2009 No comments

Acoustic Research PR221 Speaker Wire 12 AWG Oxy Free Copper, 50 ft spoolI ordered wire / plug combo because it was a good deal for them both, otherwise I really didn;t need that much wire. Anyway, it arrived packaged nicely … at leaste the WIRE arrived. No plugs. The item discription says “Includes (8) 24k gold-plated connector pins” and the picture shows 8 banana plugs! Wheeeeerrres the plugs (in a classic where’s the beef sort of way)

So I called Amazon … they said sorry etc etc we’ll send you out another one. So they did. It arrived … NO PLUGS!!! I even unrolled the spool thinking that maybe it was under the wire etc etc. Nope! Nothing!

So called Amazon back up … they said that they would give me a credit for the plugs … $16 I think and I then ordered some different (and really cool) banana plugs.

A.R. wire is really nice and super quality wire and I’m glad I purchased that … just not all the trouble.

So, A+++++ for Amazon and their customer support. BIG HISS and BOO for the combo that is listed. It’s wrong and inaccurate.
