I have been searching for the silver Tinsel lead wires. Would like to know which brand of Tinsel lead wires that are used for the speakers like Scanspeak, Seas etc. If anyone knows specific brand name that they use please let me know.
Not sure Brand has much or any meaning here, those are a commodity and be happy your supplier carries some, not an available everywhere product.
Do you mean the speaker driver lead in braid or wires? A specialist parts supplier for driver repair components should have a selection.

Hi,
I´m not aware of any silver tinsel wires. Tinned copper is available, for example here:

All the best

I missed the word "silver" in the OP. Maybe they are wanting to make some braided jewellery. By weight silver has a little more than 1/2 the conductivity of copper. As far as loudspeaker drivers are concerned I suspect the electrical/mechanical integrity of the the braid is more important acoustically than than the marketing potential of silver content. YMMV.

"Silver" only refers to colour, you can have 3 types of braided wire: plain copper, "silver" (probably tinned) and transparent plastic encased. Plastic melts away when soldering.
I know no other.
Certainly none is made out of metallic silver, what for?

I do not know the supplier of the flexible braided wire used by the Scandinavian manufacturers. There is a supplier in Taiwan that makes exceptionally high quality braid, namely; Maeden Innovation Co. Ltd. < export@maedan.com.tw >. You may need to order in 100 M reels unless they can give you sample quantities.
