Looking for an advice about speaker cables

OK, I decide to get 4s11 from Blue Jeans. Now I have another question. Should I get 4 bananas on the speaker end or 2 will sound the same. My speakers have 4 connectors on the back but there is a gold plated piece that connects two and two together.

Thank you.

Just get them in a single wire configuration. Your speakers really won't benefit from bi-wiring.

MoFimadness:....can you elaborate why the Canare 4S11 is so good, that is, its overall sound quality??

Is it good because it is cheap?? or is it good because it provides 90% of what most expensive cables deliver??

Newbee: Was the Belden speaker cable far superior to the Canare 4S11 in bass, midrange transparency, musicality, that is holds your attention and actually sounds like music??

I have my own selfish reasons for these requests. I don't want to add another under $150-200 speaker cable to my box of forlorn cables which have "0" resale value. Nobody wants just another mid-fi cable.

Sunnyjim,

Mostly an issue of transparency and most noticeable in the mid's and highs. This occurred without any high end emphasis common with some high-end wires.

I felt the 'background' was blacker and the mids/highs appeared in greater relief. My depth of image did improve. It is sort of like the apparent difference between some tube stuff and cheap SS except it can't be this in my house - I run no SS stuff apart from a couple of CDPs.

I was using 20 ft runs. Single wired. The Canares were used with both wires joined so that it was effectively 11ga. The Belden was 10 ga. I did not try the Canare bi wired, perhaps the difference would have been different if I had tried that.

Newbee, Thank you for the comments. They were helpful. I might take a shot at the Belden speaker cable. I would need a 12 ft single wire stereo pair with quality banana jacks on both ends. My system is not as sophisiticated compared to yours. Though, I run Acoustic Zen Adagios with a Rogue Hybrid integrated of 100RMS and a Rega Apollo. My goal is a greater degree of musicality form top to bottom.

BTW, You mentioned you use a few CDP's. Could you recommend a CDP that has fewest computer audio features. I only am interested in the best playbook of redbook CDs, some HDCD's,SACD and quality remastered CD's. I have been told that Ayre CX-7emp is the best player on the market for straight playback, but there has been dry spell on used ones on AG......... Cheers, Jim
