I have been using Canare 4S11 speaker cables in both systems for a couple of years. I have no desire to change, ever. Previously, I had expensive $1K+ cables. The Canare are much better, not even a comparison.
Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ???
My goal is to build new cables that I will use for the next 15 years, no matter what speakers I have, but I don't want to spend money that will force me to get a 2nd mortgage.. My current speakers are 4 Ohm so my thought is I need at least 12 gauge - 10 gauge wire. I am planning to replace my AudioQuest Type 4 speaker wire in my home theater with Canare 4s11 until I found Canare 4s11g, unfortunately you can't buy Canare 4s11g, at least I couldn't find it for sale. So I began looking at other speaker wire and Mogami speaker cable appeared. There are several choices, the 3104, 3103, 2921 are a few.them. Most of the ink is on Mogami 3104 speaker wire and it is highly regarded. I noticed Mogami 2921, 4 conductors of 14 gauge wire appeared to be exactly like the Canare 4s11, except the Mogami copper wire is OFC. My question for the experts who support this forum are: Is the Mogami 2921 as good or better than the Canare 4s11? Should I continue to search for Canare 4s11g cable or just be happy with the 4s11? Should I expand my budget and use one of the Mogami flavors (3104, 3103, 2921) wire? Should I stop the search for wire and just purchase 10 -12 gauge OFC wire and end the analysis paralysis?
If the DIY speaker wire build goes well I am sure I will replace my Monster cable stereo connections with new cables and connectors, but first things first..... the speakers need new connections. Any and all feedback is welcomed.
