You get oxygen free copper because you install it permanently and don’t want it to rust and fail and have to rip out your ceiling and walls

Copper wiring is protected from the elements (that is: oxygen) by its insulation. The gauge of the copper wiring is a far greater factor in audio quality than the voodoo science behind OFC.

You don’t have to worry about corrosion in your speaker wiring unless your speaker installation is literally in the ocean.
