The white van speaker is one end of the spectrum, while on the other end of the spectrum I think there is also too much snake oil being sold to the wealthy folks these days.
BTW the same white van speaker scam exists but in the form of an SUV with an Italian dude claiming he needs to sell off some Armani sample products as he is going to miss his flight and wants to avoid paying taxes. It's really hilarious.

I prefer mil-spec silver plated high purity copper that's PTFE insulated... it's awesome to work with, strips easily, bends easily but holds some shape, solders like a dream... I use almost nothing else for internal wiring any more. On surplus the price is good too. Oh yeah - the sound. Nothing to complain about there either.
