QED Reference Silver Anniversary XT speaker cable for refined system matching

The QED Reference Silver Anniversary XT is a high-performance speaker cable supplied as a pair and designed as the natural replacement for the award-winning Silver Anniversary speaker cable. It is made for music lovers, hi-fi enthusiasts and demanding listeners who want a well-engineered connection between amplifier and loudspeakers. Its position in the QED range makes it a sensible choice for serious stereo systems, discreet room installations and upgrades where cable geometry, conductor quality and reliable termination all matter.

Its technical appeal comes from the combination of silver-plated 99.999% OFC conductors, a high-performance low density polyethylene dielectric and QED’s X-Tube™ technology. This design is intended to reduce audio signal energy loss caused by cable capacitance and to help maintain a more linear signal transfer at higher frequencies than conventional stranded or solid-core speaker cables. With 16 AWG construction, 1.50 mm² cross-sectional area, 0.021 Ω/m loop resistance, 50 pF/m capacitance and 0.47 µH/m inductance, it offers a carefully balanced specification for clean detail and stable speaker connection.

The Reference Silver Anniversary XT works well in many situations, from a dedicated two-channel listening room to a compact system where neat routing and dependable plugs are important. When supplied factory pre-terminated, it is fitted with Airloc Heat Shrink 4 mm banana plugs, making it convenient for compatible amplifiers and loudspeaker terminals. For best long-term use, keep the connectors clean, avoid tight bends and match the cable length sensibly to your room layout. Add QED quality to your system with confidence and care.
