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.

No problem brother...i get it.Not easy these days to get the read on peoples statements sometimes...all good here,thx!

I may go with BJC for the RCA inter-connects & XLR cables but only because I haven't soldered anything since my radio merit badge when I was a Boy Scout, many years ago.  The stereo cables seemed a simple task but we shall see.  When you watch these YouTube videos they make everything seem possible.....:).

 

I have a run of Canare 4S11 I plan to try soon. How are you using this 4 conductor cable for a simple stereo connection? Are you using the reds together and the whites together for positive and ground? Does anyone make a gold plated copper banana plug I can crimp on and solder? Are there any assembly tricks to getting the most out of this cable? 

Jerryg has it right...Red/pink...white/clear.Best thing you can do for these is a proper running in.Thats been discussed.Doesnt matter what you use for your + and -...Red positive/white negative is pretty much a done deal for me.
