You can buy a LOT of coathangers for that.

Use in home audio:
The high-end speaker wire industry markets oxygen-free copper as having enhanced conductivity or other electrical properties that are supposedly advantageous to audio signal transmission.
However, conductivity specifications for common C11000 Electrolytic-Tough-Pitch (ETP) and higher-cost C10200 Oxygen-Free (OF) coppers are identical. Much more expensive C10100, a highly refined copper with silver impurities removed and oxygen reduced to 0.0005%, has only a one percent higher conductivity—insignificant in audio applications.
OFC is nevertheless sold for both audio and video signals in audio playback systems and home cinema.
By way of example, the resistance of most metallic conductors increases by about 1% for every 3 °C (5 °F) increase in temperature which means a small temperature rise would negate any benefit of having better conductors.

t arguments of the high end cable crowd.

I have used this at around 25m lengths for the rear surrounds in my setup, they went in with first fix electrical work:

I twised the four cores to make it effectively 2 core. Has been in and running for 3 years without fault, and without breaking the bank. The extra cores give flexibility if I decide to do anything else (like add other speakers, or run bi-wire etc).
