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?

  I REALLY had to bite my tongue there...…..

Kimber cable at $10? Would be shocked if it was genuine, no offense.....

GK has a bit of a point, of course many of the cables I’ve used are directional.

But not any of the stranded ones, yes?

It looks like I got a bite on that “I’m full of them” line. They’re bitin’ today!
