Oxidation and bare silver or silver coated wire???

Anyone have any opinions or expereince with running unterminated silver or silver coated speaker wire, specifically the DH Labs Q-10? Seems they would not oxidize heavily nor quickly as copper does and should be just fine bare if the amp and speaker binding posts can get a good hold on them. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Bare wire should be fine...
it cant hurt to treat the bare conductors and binding posts with Caig pro gold...This molecularly bonds with the base metals and will prevent residue and oxidation from occurring.. or at least prolong it.
PRO Gold can be bought at audioadvisor.com
Good luck,
