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?

In space no one can hear you scream. Is a violinist making music if no one is there to hear it? Music is defined as the sound a musical instrument or speaker makes. Duh! 😳
gentlemen, that is great, you're very funny... But do you have any opinions on the question that I posed here? Thank you for hijacking my thread with your hilarity, much appreciated. But if we could get back on track...
