I hate paying a higher price for stuff like that, but most of those "name brand" speaker wire companies actually do something to the mix of metals in the wire for better conductivity. Of course take that with a grain of salt cause they could just be saying that, but that is what you should be paying for. I actually use scraps of a high quality 12ga power wire that I use at work.
You get what you pay for nowadays!!
