Speaker wire... Diy?

Music is defined as the sound a musical instrument or speaker makes.

"But do you have any opinions on the question that I posed here?"

Ooops, sorry, we did not think you were serious. Cable threads inevitably evolve into chat rooms for socializing and have not brought any conclusion yet.

"Can I buy the components and put together my own $17000 speaker wires?"

It may be possible, but it may cost you as much.

"If so, where can they be purchased..."

This may be a wrong place to ask. The best would be to call Kimber and Nord, or whoever makes those $17 000 cables, and ask if they would sell you wire and connectors separately so you can assemble them yourself.

"...and which are good enough to be used?"

You already seem to like Kimber and Nord, why not start with them? For $17 000 cables, you may need to buy exactly that wire to be able to build them yourself. Same goes for connectors.

It is next to impossible for any of us, or probably anybody, to answer how to fake an identical copy of the cables you want.

Seriously.

"Is a violinist making music if no one is there to hear it?"

Unless it is a deaf violinist, there is someone there to hear it so she/he is making music. Assuming she/he did not just start practicing, If she/he did just start, it is probably far from music. Which depends on your perception. Voltage, chemicals, etc.
