Canare 4S11

At the 72 hour mark, I tried cranking the system a bit.  I put on The Dead Can Dance/Spiritchaser cd and listened to "Song Of The Stars".  This was a MFSL SACD.  The sound was better than I heard with my Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cables.  The bass was deeper and the highs were crisp but not overdone.   When I checked the SPL meter (Radio Shack), I found I was pushing 98db SPL's.  That is way too loud for me but it showed there was no sense of strain coming from the speakers.  My Mac amp was showing 30-60 watts average (60w were the peaks).  I am pretty impressed right now but it still could change.  If this works out, I will buy a longer pair of these cables for my main system, probably a 25 foot pair.  I will break them in on the secondary system because I can run that system 24/7 at a decent volume as its on the second floor of our home.  Stay tuned, I will keep updating this.

I use the 4S11s in my secondary system. Bought bulk cable off Ebay and terminated myself. Ram Electronics looks like another good way to go. Makes for a good looking cable offering excellent performance for the price. 

I did get it from Ram, but got this:

Good information from Jeffrey.

Stereo - maybe I missed it, but did you go through Blue Jeans for the 4S11?

With 31 hours on the cables, the sound hasn't really changed since after the first two hours.  So far,  I am smitten with these cables.

@stereo5  "At initial turn on, the sound was very bassy, highs weren't that pronounced."

The bass of 4S11 will taper off during break in, almost to the point of where the cable begins sounding a little to thin. At this point the 4S11 without a over pronounced midrange and lacking bass is where some people make the grave mistake of giving up on this wonderful cable. The bass eventually comes  back sounding extremely solid and positioned correctly in back of sound image but it does takes time.  When dielectric is fully burned in the highs will be perfect/garbage in-garbage out, no midrange bloom present, with solid non woolly bass. Once broke in completely the 4S11 becomes excellent tool for evaluating other cables in system, a cable version of the famed Stanton 881S phono cartridge if you will...

I was turned on to these a few years ago by an ultra high-end speaker manufacturer friend of mine.

I have used them ever since as my reference cables. They do indeed take forever to break-in, but once done, they are spectacular.

I received the speaker cables early this afternoon.  I must say, the fit and finish of the custom built cables are off the charts.  It is as good as any of the high end companies that charge megabucks for their cables.  I hooked them up and let them play while I was out.   I just got back (2 1/2 hours later) and I am quite surprised as what I am hearing.  At initial turn on, the sound was very bassy, highs weren't that pronounced.  Now they sound much better after only a couple of hours and I am enjoying the sound.  I won't pick these cables apart until I have a couple of hundred hours on them but so far, I like what I am hearing.

Another good one that doesn't break the bank is the Furez FZ124AS 12-4 Advanced In-Wall Rated Speaker Cable.  It is a quad of 12 awg cables that when cross-connected in a star-quad configuration yields 9 awg to each polarity.  You could use them as an internal bi-wired pair but I would personally use two separate runs to each speaker for bi-wiring.  Features include a rope lay construction using both 27 awg and 36 awg, 4-nines, OFC wires, and  foamed polyethylene insulation (FPE) that you don't usually see in budget cables.  Check the link....just over $1/foot!

My present speaker cables are a bit too warm and I didn't want a cable that is too highly detailed.  I hope like Goldilocks says, they are just right.

I actually just put these Canare’s back into my system due to the previous cables sounding a little too thin and a bit bright for my lively room. They may not have the extended top end, but that’s actually what I’m trying to get away from. 
Full and definitely on the warmish end of the spectrum as others have already mentioned.

Canare does nothing wrong. Very good cable for the money. I find it has a nice, maybe a little warmish presentation. Maybe doesn’t have the extended top end of better cables but it gets the job done nicely. I think once you get some hours on your new cables you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Definitely let us know what you think.

I agree that Canare can provide excellent sonics as long as you have good components. They provide a faithful presentation of recorded music. 
If not performing up to expectations, break them in longer than the specified period.

I have both the 4S11 and 4S8 cables and both are very good sounding, flexible and well made. I have considerably more expensive Analysis Plus cables in my main system and they may be a bit better but I think you'll be surprised at the Canare. There's a reason it's used widely in recording studios.

IMHO it is a good solid sounding speaker cable.
