I have two pairs of solid silver single ended RCA interconnects that I can re-terminate to XLRs, but I just don't feel up to it right now.

Image: EIZZ platinum XLR, Mogami 2549 Neglex cable
Be aware the Wyred 4 Sound cable features silver plated copper conductors, which is a different animal than pure silver when used as an audio conductor. The stock XLR connector appears to either be Neutrik or Switchcraft, with performance equivalent to that of an ordinary Neutrik or Switchcraft RCA connector. As a substantially inexpensive option, I would suggest a set of platinum plated EIZZ XLR connectors for a solderless DIY termination project using cryo treated Mogami 2549 Neglex from Take Five Audio. The eBay seller shown below is reputable IME and offers the EIZZ XLR at a substantially lower-cost than the going price. Disregard the information indicating rhodium plating; the EIZZ XLR features platinum plating:

Duster,Best to screw the XLRs down and not use solder?
Also, how would the cryo Mogami 2549 compare to the "original" Discovery two conductor cable currently being offered for about the same price? This for a long run, about 15 feet.
Thanks.

My suggestion of Mogami is based on the universally accepted reputation within pro audio and home audio circles as being a safe-bet for an entry-level balanced XLR cable. I am not familiar with the Discovery cable.
Termination methods are up to the end-user to decide what sounds the best. In my experience of the EIZZ XLR, I'm pleased to use the set-screws without soldering, and did not wish to experiment with a solder method.
I really do not feel up to building my own at this point, and these looked great for the price. THANKS!

Sure, that build is a cut-above others, even some well over that price point. Should be a good sounding cable for the price.
