A little more information please. Are you asking about speaker wire (amp to speaker)or, as i think, about modifying the crossover, if so, have you ever tweaked a crossover before?

Thanks,
Kimber DIY series has some nice wire available for speaker retro-upgrading; talk to their tech support guys for recommendations. Also try Michael Percy Audio.
alfred: i think it's very dangerous to buy off-the-shelf wire from ANY source to rewire the innards of your speakers. you may end up with much worse sound than now emanates from your boxes. decently-designed speakers are voiced with internal wiring an important part of the mix. -cfb
Alfred,

Not neurosurgery here. You can purchase some raw stock Kimber 8TC and start stripping. Here's what you will run into. The circuit boards most likely have small holes where the original wires went, so you will untangle the braid of the Kimber and use only 1 or 2 wires of the 8 wire strand.

You can also note the values of the electrolytic capacitors, purchase and install equal value prolypropylene or mylar caps which will really help out the imagine, attack and openess of the speaker. Not rocket science. Good luck
Alfred;
I agree with cfb. Be careful before you make the change. Read the post on "modified equipment" several above your post. If you change the "wiring" you will likely lose value on resale. Also it is a fairly complicated affair if you are not experienced. The paradigms have 3rd (1.5khz) and 2nd (440hz) order crossovers and you are likely as not to make it sound worse if you are not quite into xo design. It would likey be cheaper and safer to buy new. Maybe Go to a kit for your first foray into crossover work.

Its not just changing wire.
Just my opinion and good luck.
