Thanks,

Silver plating loudspeaker cable conductors is pointless (apart from the extra profit margin to manufacturers and retailers).

Buy the cheapest cable which has an adequately low conductor resistance (less than about 5% of the speakers nominal impedance). Practical factors like colour of insulation, mechanical flexibility, insulation material fire resistance properties, etc. may also need to be considered.
