can door bell wire be used instead of traditional two core speaker cable?
Sam Gangee said:The answer is "yes you can". It won't do any harm at all. For stereo, however, you must observe the polarity of the wires. I tie a knot in one of the pair and then trace that wire to the other end and tie another knot. I call that wire the "positive" wire and make sure that it connects to "+" or "red" at both ends.
I use bell wire for my speakers in the living room. Sounds perfectly OK to me. But I'm not one of those rich "golden eared" boys who can afford to waste £50 on a gold-plated oxygen-free bi-directional multistrand scart lead!
If you can afford that sort of stuff, try here:

very good answer!!!
places like richer sounds make a good percentage of their profit selling ridiculously expensive 'wires'!!!!
