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?

Geoff, ever since you mentioned you live in DC, your directionality thingy kind of lost its mojo for us country boys.
Sure, of course, wire is directional.  The sound is really a lot different if you accidentally install them in the wrong direction.  
And all the photons, neutrons, and protons get all turned around.  Little amy is likely liable to forget her lunch money, and johnny his gym clothes. 

Oh man, what a mess.
