About QED
QED has been a British cable authority since 1973, when it began demonstrating — with measurement, not mysticism — that interconnects and speaker cable affect real-world performance. Its research-led ranges carry decades of published engineering, and QED remains the sensible answer to cabling a system properly without folklore pricing.
