I'm not really sure that very many manufacturers provide info on what hook up wire they are using.
I looked up Kimber Kable and found that Vapor Audio uses the following on their Nimbus Black: Wired internally with braided Kimber TCSS for tweeter, Kimber 4TC for mids, and Jupiter cotton insulated 14ga solid core UPOCC copper for the woofer.
Evolution Acoustics makes their own:
Most speaker manufacturers do not openly reveal the brand of the internal wire as this could be taken as an endorsement to the brand.
We should remember that the bandwidth and function of the internal cabling is diferent from the speaker-amplifier cables.

An update about Raidho speakers cabling - they used to use Nordost but now use their own brand, Ansuz cables.
Is that just the Black Magic versions of their speakers?
Thank you to all who have responded to my question. I might of missed it, but who makes the cable for Sonus faber? Or is it their own...
I just came across this thread and wanted to add Lumen White, they use Shunyata Research cables for the internal wiring.
I know Kimber makes a special wire for YG which is designed to deal with vibration. I don't know whether it works or even matters, but I know they make it for YG.
When you consider the cables being used inside most speaker cabinets as well as the cables used inside your amplifiers output connection it raises the question on why so many feel the need to spend large sums of cash on the speaker cable to feed the speakers. This is one of the main reasons I got off the high end cable marry go round a few years back. I now use very short (2ft), dual runs of Mogami 2921 (9ga total) from the amp to the speaker and have not felt the need to go back to exotic cables.
At these distances the only thing I can imagine that would alter the sound would be the flavor of metal being used inside the wire (ie..silver, OCC Copper..etc). If you know the flavour of wire inside the speaker cabinet and also inside the amp I could see the benefit to try and pick a speaker cable that matches those but beyond that you begin to enter the "grey zone" in terms of monies spent on exotic wire.
Then again, I'm sure many just like the added Salt/Pepper added by the exotic cable (kinda like tubes) and use it more as an expensive tuning fork to end up with a flavour that suits their palate

my Evolution Acoustics MM7's use (surprise) Evolution Acoustics wire inside their cabinets. I use Evolution Acoustics TRSC (triple run speaker cable), and Evolution Acoustics 'zeel' 8.5 meter BNC's between my dart pre and dart 458 mono blocks.
no doubt it is a very coherent 'one piece' very balanced view on the musical event and it's no accident.
the Evolution Acoustics speaker cables replaced Transparent Audio MM Opus speaker cables I had been using with my previous MM3 speakers. I preferred the Evolutions. those were the double run version. the triple run upgrade was substantial. so it's not just synergy; it's a tip top performing cable in it's own right.
I know the TA Opus MM speaker cable was $32k when I bought it; the latest EA TRSC is under $10k somewhere......maybe $6k for an 8 foot pair. a great value in a very top level speaker cable. I've not heard a better sounding speaker cable.

Is this even an valuable legitimate consideration? Does this make any difference at all? We buy a speaker because we like how it sounds.
Would you NOT buy a Wilson because you wanted Nordust wiring instead of Transparent or NOT buy Rockport because you wanted Cardas cables inside?

IMO, if nothing else, I feel one could end up with a better sounding system if they knew the cable details within the Amp and within the speaker cabinet so that they could make a more informed decision when purchasing a speaker wire to connect it all together. I think the goal would be to try and keep it all the same the whole way thru to avoid supprises. Not necesarily in terms of the brand itself but moreso in terms of the type of wire (ie..cooper,silver..etc).
My gut feeling is the reason why some proclaim major SQ changes when playing with wire is because they have just inserted a wire that is very different in terms of its makeup from what is found inside the components at the other end of the termination. Now whether or not that SQ "change" is for the better is a whole other topic
