Home Depot Ext. Cord for Speaker Cable

I was wondering if anyone who has actually tried this themselves could comment on the results. I currently use 14g Monster wire with mostly McIntosh tube gear.

What might I expect to sound different?

Is it the "Rigid" brand that Home Depot sells that people use?

What do you do with the third wire?

Any other constructive feedback will be appreciated as well. Thanks,
Bill

I agree with Steuspeed. You spent how much on your gear and you wish to fine tune it using HD wire?

I have used the HD wire, it is OK, not great. Give it a try though, as mentioned it is a cheap DIY project and is fun. If you don't have enough cash at the moment for better cables, this will hold you over. When you get ready to experiment with other cables, give the Cable Company a call and borrow cables to try from them.
