Canare 4s11 how good are they ?


I have seen comments herr and there, but I would like to ask some owners their experience eith the Canare 4s11 cables.
My system consists of Audible Illusion 3A pre. Belles Virtuoso amp. Bluesound streamer Lynn Lp12 Vandersteen 2Sig CE and kimber 12t 8'
Most Vandersteen dealers recommend Audioquest biwire like the Rocket 44. Recently, I have read good things about the Canares, which are considered budget, entry level, etc. Has anyone tried them with Vandys. What other speaker cables are a good match for the Vandys 8' $300 top.

Thanks

I have used Canare 4S11 I purchased from Blue Jean Cables with bannanas and set-up for bi-wiring.

They sounded good and they were about $100.  I have compared them to Rocket 33s and Kimber Kables.  I preferred them to the Rocket 33s (purchased in bulk and added the bannana connections on myself) and I ultimately went with Kimber Bi-focals.

Start with quality basic cables and then upgrade and refine when you get to a point where you are pleased with your system.  Cables don't make the same impact as new components and speakers.

Yes, 4S11 is a very good speaker cable, I also admit that when I look at high end mass produced speaker cables I look to see if their size matches a 4S11 with a sleeve.

Vandy's really like unterminated cable on their terminal strips but be very careful, use a magnifying glass with a bright light to make sure there are no stray strands...

Do some research or contact Belles Virtuoso about what is required for load being sent out to speaker. My amp could care less about capacitance and needs inductance and resistance to be low, yours could be quite the opposite.

I really like my 4S11 in my system as well as the Signal Cable Silver Resolutions that replaced the 4S11.

I moved the 4S11 cables to my sytem in the basement/bar/adult entertainment room.

 

Well after the heckling my audio (snob) buddy gave me this weekend "why dont you just go to home depot!..he,he,"...Hes just upset with himself probably...i moved the 4s12f back in and dam if there isnt something about there wire that my system really likes...Know they take some hours as well.I tried the silver route for a while and copper works for me/my music/system these days...Using vh audio v twist interconnects fwiw.
