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?

That is what (possibly) was hinting at.

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! 😳

Let me be clear about this...I am not a DIY’r!  For me, and drawing from my own experiences, wire is wire unless it has a box or a network on it.  No matter how many types of cable designs I’ve used or experimented with, none have performed more gloriously than Transparent or MIT!  The tonal balance, dynamic range and oodles of pure, unforced low level detail, simply can’t be equaled by any other manufacturer...at IMHO!
