No idea about the WE wire but I would be interested in who manufactures it. And then I would just buy it from them to save on paying for the re-branding. My guess is Supra which makes Dueland tinned WE knock off wire.I have some Supra and think its great.
I don't think you meant this but I use Cardas "hook up wire" for my speaker cabling. As seen here:https://partsconnexion.com/collections/cardas-hook-up-wire
Really wonderful and refined wire but no shielding or vibration control and best to use a soldering pot and a few tries to tin the litz wire just so. Tinning litz is a bit tricky but just takes a few tries to get it right. The price has doubled over the last few years but compared to finished "proper" speaker wire it's still a good bang for the buck.
I use different gauges for woofer and tweeter. I love it.
