Review on Mediabridge 12AWG Ultra Series Speaker Cable - Gold Plated Banana Tips (18 FT) - CL2 99 by Caleb Eichbauer

When you trust human perception more than the laws of physics, buy McIntosh Speaker Wire. For everyone else, these cables are more than enough. I was specifically looking for solder connectors as the only place the signal could supposedly degrade is at (oxidized) pins. I've noticed that the copper strands tear easily at the exact points where the connector is attached. Regardless of the grade of copper, 12 AWG allows electrons to move freely between the amplifier and speakers, helping you sleep better at night. Sure, McIntosh speaker cables will help you sleep better too, but they cost more than a year's supply of Lunesta or Ambien.
