Canare is good cable. I use similar quad cable made by Gepco for my mains, and 10 gauge regular two conductor for my subwoofers. 11 gauge is large enough for just about any practical run in your listening room, especially if you double up the leads.

I don't know about the banana plug outputs on the amp - others probably will.

that canare starquad looked very good imo, look around at a lot of sites because there is a definite range of prices for the same stuff.

the cost of banana plugs is ridiculous. today is the first day off ive had since i got my wire and tubing delivered, so i think im gonna tube em up and cut the wire etc. just ordered the bananas.
