Hey All,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get bulk speaker wire in the black PVC cover like the type Axiom sells. I like the look of the black PVC, but at 1.05CAD/ft it's hard to justify it over the other options out there. The cheapest I've found is this one from Parts Express. Does anyone know of any other options?
Yes I know black doesn't sound better, but I'm tired of the copper look. Thanks for the suggestions!

This is the cheapest I've seen, not sure about shipping.

You're in YQR, Basstek? Check at Inland A/V - they're on 7th Ave, they're a pro audio place, so expect to be treated like sh*t just being John Q. Public off the street, but you'll probably be able to find something suitable there.
No, I don't live there but had to pick up two dist amps and a FrameStor in a hurry there once.

Ryan, the jacket on that PE wire looks to be a bit on the thick side. Here's something else to consider. As was mentioned, keep in mind shipping costs if you don't buy wire locally.

HomeDad's link takes you to 16/2 wire. This link on the same site should be 12/2. The same size as Axiom wire.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I'll check out Inland A/V like you mentioned Bren, I usually stay out of the high-end shops for the reason you mentioned. Looks like I have some thinking to do, luckily my M3's are about 4 weeks away so I'll have plenty of time to do it.

Oh they're not a boutique home audio shop, they're PRO audio... like guys that do this for a living buy their stuff there... not a snobby HT shop.

That makes a little more sense, I was wondering why a high-end shop would be a good place to buy wire.

This might sound stupid, but what's the purpose of the fuzzy stuff in the middle of the jacket?
