Ya, we've got a Home Depot here and there.
But they've got crap selection for speaker wire.
Some really stiff 12ga stuff that cost $1.50 a foot and i would need pliers to bend.
I went to a local audio electronics friend who sells audio (as opposed to industrial) grade cable. It was nice and flexible, 50 cents a foot. But the light grey sheath just isn't cutting it with my nice Boston Cherry Axioms.
