Yup, solid conductors can be used as long as you manage the mechanical strain on the terminals.

Yeah plus proper termination.

14awg solid conductors will be firm/rigid.  But they'll be more than capable as speaker wires.  Best with terminations which are soldered or screwed.  You can't use deadbolt type plugs.  Crimping may also make it difficult to keep the terminals to stay on, and may strain your crimping tool.

thanks for the inputs. Medyo firm and rigid nga for solid copper as I tried holding them at a hardware store. Naging curious kasi because I googled and saw a japanese site using fire alarm cables for audio:

looks like a balanced interconnect, not a speaker wire.
