Best selling Speaker cables from QED
On this page you'll find a ranking of the best QED products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.
1. QED XT25 (3.0m)
The QED XT25 speaker cable, measuring 3 meters in length, offers outstanding sound quality and is the result of extensive research and development. QED is renowned for its innovation and has received numerous awards from What Hi-Fi? The XT25 cable employs advanced X-Tube™ technology, which utilizes a hollow tubular conductor geometry. This design minimizes the impact of skin and proximity effects that can compromise sound fidelity in conventional cables. By using individual conductor bundles, it ensures that music signals are transmitted efficiently and without loss. Furthermore, QED provides an unlimited lifetime warranty on the XT25 cable, underscoring the product's durability and reliability. This cable is an excellent choice for audiophiles who value high sound quality while seeking good value for money.
- X-Tube™ technology to minimize sound loss
- Hollow tubular conductor geometry for improved signal transmission
- Unlimited lifetime warranty for added security
- Optimized for high frequencies to preserve sound fidelity.
2. QED XT40i (3.0m)
By increasing the separation of the conductors inside the cable, and therefore the amount of air between them, QED has created a low-loss air gap dielectric. This technology halves the dissipation and capacitance characteristics of the cable, resulting in numerous audible improvements, particularly in timing and rhythmic accuracy. Despite this increased separation, the XT40i retains a cross-sectional area that makes it ideal for long cable runs. Forming the cable conductors into a tube-like shape around a hollow insulating rod in the center of the cable equalizes current densities, delivers very low inductance, and presents a consistent, even load to an amplifier. The result is a cable that retains more of the finest musical details, handles rhythms and tempos in the most natural and musically satisfying way, and outperforms rival designs costing far more.

3. QED XT25 (2.0m)
The XT 25 speaker cable is manufactured using Aircore and X-Tube technology, which combat the proximity and skin effect. Specifically, the conductors are arranged in a tubular shape with a hollow center. This maintains the current density even at higher frequencies.
4. QED XT40i
This technology halves the dissipation and capacitance characteristics of the cable, and results in numerous audible improvements - particularly where timing and rhythmic accuracy are concerned. Despite this increased separation, though, XT40i retains the sort of cross-sectional area that makes it ideal for long cable runs. Forming the cable conductors into a tube-like shape around a hollow insulating rod in the centre of the cable equalises current densities, delivers very low inductance and presents a consistent, even load to an amplifier. The result is a cable that retains more of the finest musical details, that handles rhythms and tempos in the most natural and musically satisfying way, and that outperforms rival designs costing far more.
5. QED GAXT PRE-TERM Speaker cable - 3m
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, QED presents the Golden Anniversary XT speaker cable. It embodies the highlight of five decades of dedicated research, innovative technology, and excellent audio expertise. The new X-Tube™ Plus technology combines X-Tube™ with Aircore™ for a uniform reproduction of the entire audible frequency range. High-purity OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper and 99.99% oxygen-free copper conductors ensure the most lossless signal path possible. Low-loss, highly efficient Ultra-Uniform dielectric ensures minimal signal losses. Airloc™ Forte banana plugs with a cold welding system guarantee a permanent connection to the cable, an improved contact area, and lower resistance.
6. QED Connect Cable 1 X Phono (M) To 1 X Phono (M) 3 metres QE8144
The QED Connect subwoofer cable creates a connection between the RCA output of your amplifier or receiver and the input of an active subwoofer.
7. QED QE1480 (2.0m)
QED cables above 2.5 mm² cross-sectional area utilize air core technology to eliminate the skin effect by bundling several separately insulated smaller cores together to create a larger cross-sectional area. When these conductors are arranged around a hollow central core of polyethylene, the self-inductance exhibited by the cable can be reduced to around half of what is predicted by calculation.

8. QED Reference Subwoofer
QED Subwoofer 40 has been designed primarily for low capacitance, as this has been identified by QED as a major factor contributing to a tight sound that retains the rhythm of the original piece, which is vital for the bottom end. Minute timing errors are improved through QED's Complementary Conductor Technology combined with a special floating Zn/Mn ferrite jacket to absorb very high frequency noise signals outside the audible band. The QED Analoc plug design helps control eddy currents that can also affect the micro-timing of the audio signal, maintaining high fidelity from start to finish.
9. QED QE0012 (2.0m)
The Signature Supremus Zr speaker cable is QED's next-generation flagship speaker cable, combining insights from over 50 years of research and development.
