Speaker Wire
Is there any difference from buying 16 gauge speaker wire from a local hardware store than from buying it from a Bestbuy or Futureshop type store in terms of sound quality?

Monster Cables will tell you there is. 
My dad is an electrical engineer who's specialty is related to the interference cables can have. His long standing suggestion has been to buy the cable from the hardware store, leave the over-priced Monster Cable on the store shelf.

There are several on sites that have great deals on speaker wire, the problem is shipping usually kills the deal.
