A big TEXAS THANK-YOU to all who responded. I have decided to go with the Canare 4s11. I guess I will just have to dig out the Cheech & Chong, George Carlin, Firesign Theatre, maybe some Who, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Paul & Mary, Kingston Trio, Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky albums and just kick back and let the break-in begin. I've ordered the connectors (locking bananas for amp side and spades for speaker side), the wire, techflex, heat shrink tubing, a heat gun. Everything should be in my hands within 10 days, and then a few days to make the cables. I'll update this thread with my initial thoughts and again after 3-4 months of usage. BTW, I plan to repurpose some of the AQ type 4 cable to use on my refurbished Pioneer SX-828 that resides in my office. I noticed the current cable, purchased from RS eons ago was starting to tarnish. The hard part will be attaching the wire to the unorthodox speaker connections on this old receiver..... I just hate to throw anything away........ again, thanks to everyone who responded to this thread, your thoughts and opinios are appreciated.
