QED Silver Anniversary XT, runaway winner of the 2005 WHAT HIFI? Award for ''Best Speaker Cable'' and cabling ''Product of the year''. The new cable successfully introduces QED's high end ''X–Tube'' technology into a mid-priced product for the first time. The precise cylindrical construction of the silver-plated, 99.999% pure, oxygen free copper cables reduces the distortion caused by ''skin effect''. The result is a completely neutral speaker cable that allows good hi-fi and home cinema equipment to shine.

The cable is a standard ''figure 8'' configuration and is attractively finished, with each silver-plated core visible through a flexible 3.9mm diameter clear polyethylene outer sheath. For ease of assembly and to ensure correct speaker ''phasing'' the inner spacers, which maintain the cylindrical configuration, are each coloured coded red or white and are ''crushable'' to allow straightforward crimping with 'Airlock' speaker plugs (please call to order airlocks plugs, airlock plugs are optional extras).

3 layers of 99.999% SPOFC measuring 16 x 5 x 0.1mmrnPolyethylene outer jacket and Teflon air core
