Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time

Con are It’s decent for the money but nothing special vs upper end cables like Wireworld Eclipse which is well balanced and on the low side for Med priced Audiophile cables.

Anyone run 2, 4s11 or a pair of them, (total 8 conductors)in shot gun form. If so I could order another set tomorrow. If 2 is better than one why not it’s only another $20 and can break them in together and be done with it.

I was at a friend’s place who was needing to relocate his Pass X350 driving the tops (waaay too much power!) of Vandersteen Model 5s a number of years ago. Long story short he replaced 8’ of AudioQuest Kilimanjaro with 20’ of Canare 4S11. To initially hear the vast degradation in downgrading spkr cables the system was played with the cable swap on just one side to evaluate. Needless to say, the sound was disappointing as expected with a huge deviation in balance, dynamics, resolution and tonality in the system between the two now dissimilar loudspeakers. Just for the hell of it, it was decided to double run “Shotgun” both sets of Canare on the one side against the single Kilimanjaro on the opposite channel and the improvement was remarkable. On the bi-wire loving Vandersteens with longish cable runs, the deck may have been stacked, but IMO double runs of the 4S11 in this case was a bloody bargain.

Canare makes quality cables. I use their Starquad microphone cable for all interconnects.

@audioman58 I agree there are upgrade options. 

In my upgrade path, I tested Audioquest Rocket 44s and Kimber 12 TCs. 

The Rocket 44s and 12 TCs demonstrated to me cables made a different but not in a good way.  I appreciated how Kimber treated me so I tested out the Bifocals and I couldn't give them back.  I gave my brother the Canare 4S11s so he could enjoy them.  

I view Canares as a toyota or honda - they are quality and provide consistent performance.  If you want a Mercedes, Porshe or Rolls you will pay more but not everyone wants or needs that 'more'.

I have owned canare cables a long time ago and a solid reasonably priced cable.
