Couldn't really say anything for the company, but the wire looks like bog standard enamelled wire used in elctromagnets/coils. It's a bugger when it gets bent, because there is no plastic/rubber coating to allow it to retain it's shape. Also another thing you'll need to go careful with is scratching the enamel off, it's thickness is usually in microns. Admittedly I'd never have though of using the stuff for audio applications, I've got tons floating about, I may have to experiment.

interesting, thanks

let me know how that sounds.

i may go the kimber route unless silver plated copper can sound as good or better

From a builder's standpoint, I don't much like enamel wire. It's just hard to get it to behave and it's too fragile. It's tough to shape it into a consistent geometry. And even if using less insulation reduces capacitance, it increases inductance.
