BUT, i can assure you that copper is copper and no amount of money
spent on a name brand cable will change the sound coming out of a speaker

I'm not so sure about that. I think I remember reading somewhere that
electrons travel on the outside surface of wire. In that case, there
would be more outside surfaces on stranded wire than there would be on
solid wire. More surfaces to travel means better conduction and that
means better sound.

what you heard about stranded wire and electrons is correct. I wasn't
suggesting using romex for speakers (although i doubt a difference could
be detected) but 18, 16, or 14 ga. zip cord from the hardware store is
just as finely stranded as any hi dollar cable and will do just fine.
