Yes, better be. but

Hi Tom,
Since current flows in like a closed circuit in both wires (from the amp to the speaker on one wire, and then from the speaker back to the amp on the other wire), they better be the same size and type (analogous to having the same pipe diameter for fluid).
But if you want to save on speaker wires, just buy regular electrical wire, (heavier gauge is the better). Don't go for the special speaker cables. "Oxygen free" and all other related buzz is nonsense. The only thing that matters is the resistance of the cable, so the larger cross sectional area of thre wire(heavier gauge), the better.
Good luck.
