Speaker wire... Diy?


I am new to this, so please bare with me. I always thought 12 gauge speaker wire, bare on each end, was best. But there is Kimber, Nord, etc, that seem to be incrementally better! Can I buy the components and put together my own $17000 speaker wires? If so, where can they be purchased, and which are good enough to be used? Which terminations are best for sound? Which wire? Length? Guage?

Just get some Duelund 12ga wire in the length you need.  Try it bare or for ease of use install some spades or banana connectors.  I use the KLEI banana connectors with excellent results.  Several at our audio club use it and have no desire to spend big bucks on speaker cable.
