I'm in the process of gathering parts for the assembly of my Alpha's. I'd like some recommendations on what to use for the speaker wire inside the enclosures (and probably in the cross-overs too). Danny recommended some of the Teflon Silver Plated Copper Wire sold at Apex Jr. The price is right, but I only want to do this once. I've read that braided CAT5 wire is sometimes used.
I posted this query over at audiocircle.com also, but I thought I'd see what you guys think would be best.
Bonus question... the speakers themselves have (male) spade connectors on them. Should I buy some gold plated quick-slides (like these) or solder my wire right to the terminals (with my fancy silver solder)?
Thanks,
Jon
