Yep... just call your local "emporiums" or surplus shops... this stuff is often referred to "aircraft wire".
Teflon wire's real claim to fame is that it will wear a hole in something... rather than a hole worn in it... when things are vibrating. It is also impervious chemically to just about anything... why the military likes it so much.

cheers John, I will.
With a new nipper on the way in March, it should keep me busy and in the shed for a few months
It's true you don't have to spend loads of money to get a good sound, from this Seller
And my mistake it was 16 gauge, using it on a fully active system on the tweeter and it's fantastically detailed and sweet. All I did to make it into speaker cable was buy a run of black and white wire then twist them together. By fixing one end of to an heavy object and then twist them together using a hand drill.

Re: cable issues
Great advice. Also, be absolutely sure that playback levels are not matched. As a matter of fact, insist on the expensive cable being played back at a slightly higher level. The salesman should be more than accomodating here. This will ensure a valid, truly subjective experience. Remember, it's more important to "trust your ears", not science. Enjoy.
cheers,
