Speaker Cables have always been the staple for all Hi-FI systems. A good speaker cable can truly reveal the potential of your speakers and enter you into another world. Over the years, technology for speaker cables has been researched thoroughly, and now there are many top-of-the-range cables brimming with innovation to bring you the best sound possible.
Here we have a list of our top-picked must-haves when it comes to speaker cables:
1) AudioQuest FLX/SLiP 14/4 Speaker Cable
Over the past 25 years, AudioQuest has had a well-earned reputation as a manufacturer of exceptional video and audio cables worldwide. AudioQuest’s cable designs come from years of in-house research and careful engineering.
The FLX-SLiP 14/4 can be used as both a single-wire and bi-wire cable. This is better than using a single wire cable as you get double the bandwidth, meaning more detail through your speakers and a broader sound stage.
The Audioquest FLX/SLiP is a multi-award winning speaker cable that has proven to be excellent value for money for many years running.

The Clearway speaker cable was awarded speaker cable of the year for three years running and has received great reviews all around.
The Chord Clearway is an award-winner that embraces Chord's ideals to show you a side of your music you would not have discovered previously.

3) Tellurium Q Black II Speaker Cable
Tellurium Q Black was Tellurium Q’s first cable, and they knew we were on to something special when they took the prototypes to various dealers for their comments and input. One, in particular, would not believe that it could match the thicker, more expensive cable in his demonstration system.
So why Black II? Despite Black winning multiple awards, surprising owners with its performance and more people than ever choosing to use it in their systems? Tellurium Q has been learning and developing, especially in the last few years and has come up with a way to make this little gem even better.
The Tellurium Q Black will immerse you in the unimaginable and have you listening to every song you love in a new light.
