Diy "recepies" for speaker wire anyone?


...anybody tried such a project, that end result rivals some of those pricier cables manufactured by companies?

If things work out, I am planning to do a parallel run of Harmonic Technology Pro 12, and will likely add something else to this "shotgun" as well (some other cable, perhaps 14 AWG). My goal is to have a final AWG between 8 and 9. I have the Pro-9 right now (I double up the bi-wire speaker end, for single wire connection), and want to have something that might compete with it in overall performance (and maybe surpass it in some ways), for less $$. Because Maggies get heavy usage in my system (they don't have binding posts), I want to use WBT locking bananas on the speaker end. For the amp end, I want to use Wireworld solid silver spades. This would be a single-wire configured cable pair, around or just under 6 feet long. The rest of the bulk Pro-12 cable will be used inside my speaker projects. Can anyone think of a good reason why I shouldn't do this?....................Hi Tml2, I burried my hatchet, then dug it up, melted it into a steel speaker cable, doesn't sound too good...the music has a rusted character.
