Magnet wire ok as speaker wire? [message #48840]

Hi all.
I have a Bottlehead/Pi tube system: Foreplay II > Paramours >Theater 4 Pi and want to know if it's ok to use 20 ga magnet wire as speaker wire. I plan to run 8 twisted wires (4 strands to each speaker terminal) per speaker run with a length of 3 ft from amplifier to speaker. I seem to recall a post in the archives that magnet wire was not ok but can't find the reference. Can some one clarify this for me?

I've tried to find that Royal Cable speaker wire (mentioned by Mr Epstein) at the local Walmart but they don't seem to carry it here in Ontariairrio (Canada). Any suggestions for a replacement? I've also tried to find solid core magnet wire but the thickest I can find is 20 ga.

Cheers.
Frank Mena
