Actually H., bare wire is best. Enameled solid wire is easy to protect against oxidation and to see any if it forms (versus multi-strand jacketed wire); plus there are many contact protectors that will prevent oxidation for a long time without re-treating.
So long as your amp/speaker terminals will accept the wire you have unterminated, that's going to give you the best performance. "Best" doesn't necessarily mean however that you will hear a distinct improvement over a properly terminated cable; but all the little details do add up ;-)
