Just moved and I need to whip up some new speaker cables. I am planning on using canare 4s11 in a non-biwired config to start with (possibly bi wire in the future w/ new speaker and 2nd run of cables).
I need banana on the speaker side and 1/4 unbalanced on the amp side.
Anyone have a recomendation for some cost effective connectors to use. I am thinking of using the np2c neutriks on the amp side but I have not worked with tham and unsure if they can handle the 4s11 cable.
Try these. Not the greatest, but not bad either, and they will take the size of the 4S11 cables...

hmmm.... damn good question.
I'm guessing that you want to put two wires of the 4s11 into a single 1/4" TS. The 4s11 specs are confusing on the individual wire sizes... but guessing that the 10.7mm OD - (1.2mm jacket thickness x 2) may mean that you need a TS connector that accepts 8.3mm OD wire... and I can't find such an animal.
But I can say that I got some 1/8" Canare connectors and they are first class. Built like a tank and with a spring on the end for wire flexing... but they only make one 1/4" TS and it takes 6mm max OD cable.
Let me know how this turns out... I've been giving some serious thought to using this cable for my speakers also.
