Default QED v/s Chord speaker cables


"max graff" wrote in message
...
Dear all,

A friend of mine suggested using QED silver Anniversary XT for my
speaker cables. Having used Chords Chameleons for interconnects I have
some how developed a soft corner for Chord Company cables.

Any suggestions on which of the Chord speaker cables would match the
rave reviews and sound quality of QED Silvers?

Regards Max


Power amps provide varying audio currents to feed passive loudspeakers.
All you need to link the two items efficiently and faithfully are thick
copper cables, each leg taking at least 20Amp, installed as short as
comfortable.
Period!!
L/S-cable hype has been going on for over 30 years.
There are a lot of snake-oil promoters out there, eager to take your dosh
flogging some fancy-named, beautifully packaged alternatives, so famous that
I can't /shan't remember their names.

I have the same philosophy for low- and line-level interconnects -- use
decent, everyday screened cables, whether balanced or unbalanced.
Just splash out on active circuitry.
