Using solid copper THERMOSTAT wire as speaker wire


In the search for good speaker wire that doesn't break the bank, I came across a forum where one guy asserted that solid copper 2 wire thermostat wire would be the same as the solid copper wire that costs big bucks. The wire in question is 18 gauge. Can anyone out there confirm or rebut this assertion?

I've got Audio Research D-51 tube amp, Audible Illusions Modulus tube pre-amp, Rogers L2sa speakers, Oppo BDP95 CD and Project Expression III Classic turntable with Sumiko Pearl cartridge.

Hi Theo, I agree with your last post completely!, porsche with re-cap tires!, I tried posting my opinion on the door bell wire for speaker cables thread, when I noticed that there was some believers that thought cables are not a component, or that cables do not impact a system as much as a component, I exited the thread, cheers.
