I'll pop in one more recommendation, which is
Axiom Audio's Bulk Speaker wire
Not the typical recommendation, I know. But it's extremely flexible and really nice to work with - stays where you put it - and it has a black outer jacket! Which, for some odd reason, is really hard to find
I've no idea why all speaker wire seems to be clear, white or grey, but I prefer a black jacket myself and this Axiom bulk wire is the best I've found for a fairly reasonable price (just under $1/foot).
Throw in some
Monoprice banana plugs and you're all set
I get the sense that the OP has read about speaker wire making some sort of difference in the sound and the onerous claims of needing to "match" speaker wire to speakers in order to get the best performance. This sort of fiction still exists despite all of the data available and just the basic common sense that speaker wires carry
electrical signals - they don't carry "music"
The ONLY thing a wire can do to a signal is degrade it. No wire can improve a signal. So the only way a wire can alter the sound that you hear is if it degrades the signal enough that it essentially acts as a passive EQ. When we're talking about the frequencies involved in sound, the primary source of degradation will be due to impedance. That is, the resistance introduced by the wire. So the biggest factor - by far - is nothing more than the gauge of the wire, with a thicker gauge (lower AWG number) being preferrable and a thicker gauge being necessary the longer the length of wire becomes.
Any 12 gauge copper wire will introduce very little resistance in lengths up to about 40 feet. So any 12 gauge copper wire - be it lamp cord, inexpensive bulk speaker wire, ridiculously expensive "audiophile" cables or a copper coat hanger - will work perfectly well in most home settings and provide a path for the electrical signal that introduces minimal degradation or resistance.
All the claims of expensive wire being "better" or "necessary" are pure marketing BS. The only thing they could possibly do differently than cheap, bulk 12 gauage copper is introduce MORE signal degradation. To be clear, that extra degradation might alter the signal in a way that the listener finds pleasing for some reason - by say, reducing the high frequencies or something like that. But any audible change in the sound is due to the signal being degraded and due to distortion being introduced. I would hardly call that any sort of "improvement"
There is ONE valid reason to pay more for speaker wire, and that is looks. I'm willing to pay a bit more for Axiom's bulk speaker wire because it has a black jacket and I want a black jacket rather than a clear or white jacket
You might also want fancier-looking speaker wire and be willing to pay more for that, which is fine! Looks are a perfectly valid reason to spend more to get the look that you want. But any claims of "better" wire, or wire that "improves" the signal, or wire that "matches" your speakers is pure hogwash.
