I am looking at this from monoprice which is ~$80 plus whatever exchange/shipping/handling fees get applied. The same will be significantly more expensive from any other source that I have found.

I have some of Monoprice's 12 gauge and it is good quality but quite stiff in comparison to many other 12 gauge wiring I have seen, especially compared to Axiom's 12 gauge. Axiom's wire is very supple with some very fine strands, yet it is still reasonably strong. This is what I would expect for the price difference between the 2.

I've also had really good experience with monoprice. My order is in my Canadian hands within a week or two, tops. Every time I order I can't help but throw in other cables and wires as well. I've got a draw FULL of extra HDMI cables and other cables just because they're cheap but not cheaply made. LOL

My order is on the way. I expect it should arrive sometime this coming week. Thanks for the advice all, that helped save probably about $200 from paying storefront inflated pricing.
Cheers,

Cheers, Too bad I didn't see this sooner. "Only Best Rated" an internet only site in Mississauga, sells Monoprice cables at pretty competitive prices(they will adjust them in accordance with the Can./US dollar values). I didn't see how much you bought in length, but I saw on the OBR site, although not the same as the cable shown on your link, a 50 foot spool of 12 gauge Monoprice cable for under $24.00 Can.

I have that site bookmarked now - I had never heard of them before. Looks like some great HDMI cable pricing, but they do not seem to carry what I need for speaker cables. I ordered a 500ft spool of 14 gauge in wall rated speaker cable from monoprice. Good site to know about - thanks.

Final update - the speaker cable arrived yesterday. Price was exactly what was stated on the monoprice website plus exchange from CAD to US. When UPS dropped off the box it was only an additional $10. No surprises and good and cheap. Now I know what I'm doing this coming weekend!

The last time i ordered from Monoprice, i decided to get their 'premium' cables which were a few bucks more than the lowest priced stuff. It turns out i was sent the same 'brand' as what they were selling in a local Future Shop. By going with Monoprice i saved 90%. Can't say i've ever found good deals at Home Depot. The cable they sell here is really stiff. Another Cdn company where i've found more than just cables is Solen in QC. http://www.solen.caYou can get new fabric for grilles, speaker feet, crossovers, tweeters, drivers, etc. A bit more of a technical site, but overall good prices.
