QED Silver Annivesary XT

[titanax]

I am currently using the Dali Viper & I'm not sure if the QEDs will make a major difference, I'm also looking at The Chord Company Carnival Classic. Unfortunately I cant get 2 brands under 1 shop to compare the quality. Can someone with prior advise please?

Also side-tracking a bit do I need to bi-amp or bi-wire my center speaker coz my Mission center comes with 4 connectors.

Don't bother - save your money, you don't need to spend that kind of money on speaker cable.

There are a number of reports that the Silver Anniversary can be a tad on the "bright" side.

If you're looking for a brand name but good value, look at the Van Damme Blue series 2.5 sq mm. It can be bought in the Power Buy section for about £1.90 per m, or if you're up for buying a quantity, you can get 100m for a few pence under £130.

I'll second that - best advice you'll get.

Both comments are not the best advice

If you have a dealership that is willing to loan you the cables to try out then I would urge you to do that.

sweeping statements like the above do not merit good advice, cables can make a difference but depending on partnering equipment/setup.

The above is sound advice.

Until i see some real reviews of cables that prove they make a difference, I think it's a fair statement to make.

The whole loaning equipment to try stuff out is all well and good but unless you properly blind test everything you try (which i expect accounts for 0.0001% of hi-fi consumers) you are just going to convince yourself into spending money needlessly.

Anyway, this has been said countless of times in another thread.

you guys crack me up ...but its sound advise... now I need to search who sells Van Damme Blue in Singapore.

As for my other question on bi-amping my center speaker - does it make a big difference? I mean why else would it come with 4 connectors??

I could not get the van damme retailer in singapore & the cost of getting it shipped from the UK is really expensive...so I got myself the Supra Ply 3.4/S. I must say they meet my expections
