Sorry for a late reply.
All the speaker wire in my house is a mix of 12 gauge Home Depot bulk cable (cheap for local but soooo stiff and awkward to work with that you actually have to wear gloves or risk cutting yourself and it's hard to run) and Monoprice cable.

The Monoprice ended up being cheaper per foot, even after getting it to Canada. It was wonderful to work with and even had an outer sheathing. All for cheaper than the Home Depot, fingerbleeder wire..

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
