Bhobba,
That is what makes this hobby so interesting. It is not so much what we agree upon, based on our personal experience. Instead it is the different views and experiences we have.
There are so many variables with silver and copper that effects the outcome. Most of the ribbon copper or silver I have experienced is spring temper. Using an H02 soft annealed would be a good place to start. I am not a metallurgist but having the right material to start with is essential.
I have had my own custom silver ribbon wire made to my spec's. With a little supervision of course.
I have used 8 awg North Creek (George Short) inductors on numerous occasions. I still have some laying around. However, they were noisy compared to the Duelunds. I have custom wound 8awg Cast Duelund inductors that were the same value as the North Creek 8 awg. Comparing them side by side all four of us who were evaluating chose the Duelund.
North Creek inductors are my second choice.
I agree with your comment regarding the Cast resistors and yes they are the best value. I was mentioning the inductors because they bring so much to the table and yet there is hardly any ink about them.
I love custom speaker projects. You have no limitations but your imagination and ability. When you have it build please send me some photos.

I will send off some audio porn when time permits.
