For some fancier wire, there is some mil-spec stuff that is cheap and also excellent sounding. M22759-11 is the spec. Its silver coated copper. A few users here will vouch for it.

I find that speaker wire it something you just have to try a bunch and choose which you like the best. Some people are very serious about it. There's many a speaker wire thread at Audiokarma that gets locked.

Btw, sounds like a cool project you have going. Post some pics when you get it all together.
Elitopus:

Educated myself on this wire and discovered that it's available at Apex Jr. here in Los Angeles area. On my way home from work yesterday, I headed to Torrance and bought a small stock of 14, 16, and 18 AWG M22759/11 wire from Steve. Some of it may be MW16878/4 type E spec- Steve claims is equivalent. As far as trying different wires, since it's possible that they may need break in (?), not sure I have the patience for that (maybe after I retire and have more fee time!). Thanks!
