for the ER-11/Pro 650F

ER-11 and Pro 650F are indentical cable, except for the outer jacket colors. I guess XLO thought the WAF was better with the black/gray/yellow of the ER-11 for HT, and audiophiles would prefer the green/black of the Pro 650F.
Asthetics aside, this is one of the best sounding affordable speaker cables on the market. Would be great for long runs to the back channels in HT, or for a modest 2-channel system. Won't cost an arm and 3 legs to bi-wire with either! Less colored and more dynamic than most cables in its price range.
