Magnet wire would be less expensive than the Axiom speaker cable, but I would think that would sound different. I would guess better, but at that point it's subjective.
Magnet wire? Like the 32ga. enameled stuff? Yes, it would sound different. It would sound like light zip wire, only worse - I think most of us here agree that ~18ga is a minimum for even short speaker runs. Unless you mean some Litz-braided configuration... in which case, here we go again on the whole "if it's good enough for CAT5, it's good enough for me"... if you want to braid together 64 conductors of that to end up with the equivalent of 14ga. stranded or solid, be my guest...
this might make it less tedious.
