The main difference is in the price. Oxygen-free copper is sold to people with plenty of money for loudspeaker wire, but provided the wire has less resistance than one tenth of the speaker resistance (usually 4 or 8 ohms), the resistance of the wire is immaterial, and ordinary copper wire is perfectly all right.

Highly refined copper has about 1% better conductivity than the usual variety. That difference in conductivity is insignificant for audio use and is also produced by a 3 degree C temperature rise in copper.
