QED XT25
Speaker Cable Per Metre
£5.99
(per metre)
”This kind of transparency is difficult for rivals to match.” ‘What Hi-Fi? magazine’. 5-star review.
X-tube technology – as used in the award-winning XT40
Conventional cables can fail to conduct high frequencies uniformly across the entire conductor area. QED's X-Tube cable technology allows a near-linear signal transfer at treble frequencies for greater detail and realism of sound - especially at higher frequencies.
Pure copper for a detailed sound
Using 99.999% oxygen-free copper cable, there's very low resistance, which makes it easier for your amplifier to drive your speaker as well as delivering a purer sound. It also makes the cable suitable for longer cable runs, with far less quality loss over longer lengths.
Connect up with QED’s Airlock plugs and enjoy one of the best-sounding speaker cables in its class.

Made for the job
After digging out my 30 year old pioneer stack, I felt new speaker wire was needed. After a chat with the assistant manager at Richer Sound, Lichfield, I bought 6 metres of QED XT25.
This was what was recommended and didn’t disappoint. Definitely up to the job.
Thanks Richer Sound

Not impressed
Bought this speaker cable as an upgrade. Trouble is, there's nothing between the two main strands on the lead and makes splitting the two impossible to do without exposing the inner strands. Tried it with a very sharp knife, still no.good, all I ended up doing was cutting the ruined ends off and trying again. All I wanted to do was split the cable then cut off a cm or so of the outer insulation to attach banana plugs. Tried four times, always ended up exposing the inner cable and gave up. £40 wasted.

As good as it gets at this price.
My son has this model in HK, so I knew I was buying a good piece of kit. Even better it was £150 cheaper than he had to pay.

Excellent quality cable at a reasonable price
Excellent quality cable at a reasonable price per meter. Much improved sound over my old cable. But be careful when pulling the cables into two, the connecting plastic is in my mind a bit too aggressive (too thick) it pulled off in places the outer plastic of the adjoining cable exposing some shielding core.

Perfect Cable for my needs & stripped for me :)
When I'd visited the shop a year or so ago the team gave me great advice on what type of quality cable would be the best to cable my Yamaha amp over a quite a decent distance with a few other cables running next to it. The result was a super clear sound with no degradation - super happy! When I can back in to purchase a new sub the assistant knew exactly what speaker wire I'd had in the past from my vague description of it and quickly stripped it down ready to use despite a busy shop. Perfect connection and length for what I needed and super clear connection.

Bloomin' Marvellous!
I bought this XT25 a couple of weeks ago to replace what I think was 79 Strand cable, though I can't be sure of that. Suffice to say that I do not regret swapping one bit. The XT25 is a great improvement over my previous cable which must be 20 years old! As always these things are hard to put into words but the XT25 just seems more controlled overall with a tighter bass and a smoother treble. Definition is improved too. A clash of cymbals or close miked drums are a joy with cymbals no longer a tizzy smash but a full bodied clash! Drums now actually sound like drums and are much more realistic, in fact you can even sometimes hear the pedals for the bass drum and hi-hat, amazing, things I hadn't heard before in recordings I must have played hundreds of times before!
A bit of a devil to strip but well worth the effort! Thank you QED and Richersounds!

Wired for Sound!
I recently upgraded my wiring for my existing box speakers which are my invaluable pair of Acoustic 1020i
With guidance and insurance, Paul suggested the QED XT25. I purchased 10 meters of the cable and connected them to my speakers with an overwhelming result.
I found the RicherSounds team very professional and empathetic!
