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?

Elizabeth, thanks for the info. I only paid $10 each for them on eBay. They are 4' long. Is Kimber known for breaks in their cables?

Depends on your taste and expectations as to which type you order 🕺
