Have all the parts for my first home theater set up, all that's left is speaker wire.

I was looking at 16 or 14 guage speaker wire from RCA on Amazon. Has some very good reviews and is very affordable. Then I saw some things mentioning that the wire wasn't true copper and that it was actually copper clad aluminum. Does this matter, will it affect quality and can anyone testify if RCA speaker wire (http://www.amazon.com/AH1450SN-14-Gauge-Speaker-Wire-feet/dp/B002JP4Z96/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t) is an acceptable choice for a VSX-1122-K receiver and new Polk Monitors?
