    Default I think QED cables are good!

    Tried them on my system today, and quite liked the results. The XT25's are good cables for not so silly money.

    In the past my father owned Genesis Silver Spiral Speaker Cables. Again, very good results.

    I understand QED are like the 'Naim' of cables. Some really love them and hate etc!

    Silver Spiral is an excellent cable in my experience, the cable I use and have no intention of changing unless i came into big disposable spondoolies
    Nothing like Silver Anniversary which so many of us have had back in the past.
    Big difference in price and construction anyway...

    You want a good sounding very well made cable QED is a great choice cos their cheap cable look more expensive than they actually are.

    I've been using QED speaker cable since 1978. Then, it was 10m lengths of their 79 strand version.

    These days I use short speaker cables of less than a metre in length, so differences between various makes of cable is, IMO, utterly insignificant.

    Silver Spiral interconnects, and the speaker cable version Genesis are very good. I replaced my Genesis with Atlas Mavros speaker cable. Its much better but vastly more expensive.

    Aye i was lucky enough to get my cables for free as a one of my colleagues used to work for Armour the company that owns QED, they also own Q Acoustic, Grado and Goldring, i have their Signature Revelation speakers cable and i'm very impressed, i definitely wouldn't buy it without the banana plugs fitted though as apparently it's a pain in the arse to strip.

    I have to use 1.5 metre lengths of cable and I'm currently using Tellurium Q Blue but I do love the hulking great QED Silver cables and would love to maybe use them in the future.
