Speaker Cables - QED Cables

Upgrading "bell wire" or cheaper cable to a higher quality speaker cable is one of the most effective upgrades you can make to your hi-fi system and will get a much better sound from your investment in speakers. We recommend you spend at least 10% of speaker value on a good quality speaker cable. We also sell a range of custom install speaker cables.
As well as good speaker cables, we highly recommend using bookshelf speakers with good speaker stands and for floorstanding speakers, we sell a range of floor isolators and spike protectors for wooden floors.

Most speaker cables are supplied "per metre" and is essentially cut off the reel, so we recommend you measure up and work out how much you need for each speaker (adding on slightly more for bends and for any possibility you move the speakers), and order the total number of metres required. When your cable arrives, it's simply a case of cutting it to length, stripping the ends and connecting your speakers to the speaker outputs on your hi-fi amplifier/music system. We always also recommend terminating your speaker cables with banana plugs or spade connectors (you can do this yourself or take advantage of our professional speaker cable termination service).

What improvements can you expect from using higher quality speaker cable? Better top end clarity, smoother midrange and stronger more tuneful bass. Not sure which cable to choose?

QED's reputation for innovation and technical excellence is known throughout the world. The latest computer-aided design techniques allow for research and development to keep pace with technological advances and deliver products that achieve the highest levels of performance and reliability. This is why QED speaker cables and interconnects are recommended by so many of the world's leading manufacturers of hi-fi and home cinema equipment.

Founded over 40 years ago in 1973 by Bob Abraham and Ian Vine, QED changed people's perception of hi-fi cables so in 1978, when the QED 79 strand speaker cable was launched it was highly regarded as a serious hi-fi component as opposed to 'just another speaker cable'. Since then they have been promoting the use of quality cables as a serious hi-fi component in the audio-visual industry. The current range includes the cables mentioned above, along with revolutionary outdoor cables, speaker switch boxes and versatile wireless streaming solutions.

Today it is widely considered Europe's number one award winning hi-fi cables brand and between 1981 to 2013, it won more prestigious cable awards from 'What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision' magazine than any other brand. More recently, having carried out extensive research published in the “GenesisReport”, you can be assured QED cables will bring out the full potential of your system in order to enhance your listening experience.
