Canare Star Quad 4S11 too Mid-Fi?

I'm upgrading my system to include Von Schweikert VR4 SE's driven by a Bryston 14B SST, First Sound Presence Deluxe II preamp with an Empirical Audio modded EMC 1-UP CD player. My present "no-name" speaker cable is a 25 foot in-wall installation (where any replacement cable must also be run). I know I should upgrade my cable, but the length required translates to big bucks for high end cables, not to mention the need to keep the cabling to a manageable diameter for the in-wall installation. I've read some posts from Audiogon member Subaruguru mentioning Canare Star Quad 4S11 as a very good economical cable used by recording studios. Anyone have experience with this cable? Any other suggestions?

FWIW, a number of studios, at least the independants that I am aware of, use Canare and Mogami cabling extensively, for everything from mic cables to interconnects, to speaker cables (though most use primarily powered monitors, so not much speaker cabling going on). Following advice which I received from several engineers, I have set up my home studio with mic/instrument/interconnect cables made using Canare or Mogami cabling and Neutrik terminators. I picked up my from PerformanceAudio.com. Their prices are very competitive.

Hope this helps, Tom.
