Internal Speaker Cabling

What is the use of Highend speaker cables,when the quality of our speakers internal cabling is inferior than the speaker cables used to connect our amps to our speakers.I guess what I am asking is should the internal speaker cable in most if not all speaker brands be upgraded to a similar highend quality.When for example most audiophiles purchase cables in the thousand of dallars price range.I doubt that speaker manufacturers are even spending hundreds of dollars on internal wire!Please let me know your thoughts Thanks.

My internal wires were bought from Acoustic Zen directly, which, I believe, are custom-made for them by Neotech. It is UPOCC copper.

When I said I was stuck with the speakers and cabling, I was being a little facetious. I am stuck with them only because I want to be, now that they are basically made for one another having the same wiring.

I am replacing capacitors and resistors on my vitage pioneer HPM-100 speakers. I also wish to change the internal wiring . Can someone suggest good wires for speakers internal connection ? All I need is 12 feet of wires and I wish to go upgrade on internal wires as well in hope of improvement in performance .

Supra and why not direct wire? The
binding posts are the weak link far more than cables used.

It does matter!
I use VH Audio AirLok PCOCC/foamed teflon hookup wire, in staggered guages, in my speakers- and yes it is a big improvement. Highly recommended for a re-wire job. Cost- about $150 for an average 3-way.
