I'm looking to upgrade my 10 years old 18 gauge monster speaker wire due to my concern about oxidation/deteriation. I being doing some research on the 10/12 gauge speaker wire with banana plug but just couldn't justify the price tag of $90.00 plus for a 6 ft. Does it really do make that much of a differences? Is there other alternatives?

Try parts express. I used the Sound King wire.

I use the Dayton speaker cables from Parts Express. They are terminated with bananas but I think they are only 14 guage. They cost about $35.00 for a 10 foot pair. I like them better than some of my more expensive cables.

Take a look at this link comparing a few of the cables available.
