What wire to use /"upgrading" internal speaker

I've got some Tannoy D-700's that I'm thinking of upgrading the internal wiring with larger guage/ higher quality wire...and also soldering instead of spade connecting, as the manufacturer did.

What's the best wiring out there for this? Solid silver?
Any sources for such super wire?

Thanks,
jbatlanta

I'm also on the same thing as JBatlanta....my speaker cables are Audioquest but I've been unable to find some in bulk. I'm leaning towards a Cardas wire that Michael Percy sells.

I'm also looking to upgrade the caps and resistors in my speaker x-over, but I don[t know if I should use Metal, Film, Polipropilene (or whatever), etc. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thks,

What quality of wire is the "Van Den Hul H.C. CS 18 Nitrogen Free" ??

Is it worth upgrading this wire?
