QED Silver Anniversary XT
Speaker Cable Per Metre
£6.50
(per metre)
'An "XT" version of its Silver Anniversary cable and it sounds excellent. Discreetly designed, its open and detailed presentation leaps into the foreground.' What Hi-Fi sound and Vision magazine.
Aircore technology
QED have been making quality cables for just about longer than anyone else and, with the Anniversary XT, its experience shows. Following on from the highly successful Anniversary cable, the XT version features Aircore technology found in the prestigious X-Tube series.
Tube-shaped conductor
This is a silver plated cable, giving a smooth sound with excellent detail. The Aircore technology offers lower inductance and thus distortion by providing a conductor in the shape of a tube with an inner aircore, around the cable. Having a similar effect to the, much more expensive, option of individually insulating the wires, X-Tube provides a cleaner sound with improved transparency. Unlike individually insulated cables, it's also easy to terminate.
For a quality speaker cable that doesn't require selling the family silver to afford, the QED Silver Anniversary XT makes an excellent choice.

Great Cable
I was hoping that this cable would open the sound up a little and was very pleasantly surprised how much it opened up the music. Lots more detail compared to the copper cable I was using. Would thoroughly recommend it.

A minor purchase ancillary to an AV receiver and 65” OLED TV but as per usual the Richer Sounds service was top notch

Great place to buy and get advice
Cannot fault Richer Sounds at all. Great service before and after as well as a demo of the actual equipment we were buying. Excellent knowledge and advice. After sales service is 5 star

Sturdy good quality cables
Terrific customer service from the guys in Tunbridge Wells who put the cables and plugs together for me.
The result sounds great with my Denon amp and new (to me) vintage speakers.

QED Silver Anniversary XT
I needed to extend my speaker run, this is good quality cable and wired up one speaker to the new QED Silver Anniversary XT and I could hear a distinct improvement over the other speaker running the older cable.
Easy to strip and add the banana plugs, good product.

Really has improved the sound of my system!
Look! I’m no hifi expert so I can only give my honest opinion as to what I like. I initially initially bought QED 25xt but I can’t report on them as I found them impossible to strip. Contacted Richer Sounds and, as usual, there were no problems. They understood the issue, allowed me to have these and they arrived by post the next day. They even arranged the return of the XT’s by post! Top class service! These were easy to strip and connect. My system comprises of a Denon DM41 and Q Acoustics 3050i speakers which also came from Richersounds. The whole setup is just clearer and cleaner in presentation. The treble is particularly bright and the bass very defined. Really pleased that I upgraded the cables and I feel the upgrade good value for money. I only know of two other companies (not in the hifi business) who come close to Richersounds standards in terms of customer care. They are just the best out there and you’d have to be daft to go anywhere else. Product and service top class. Wish I could give then 10 stars. Still using Richers after being a customer for over 33 years!!!
