Q. Which cables should I use with my Q Acoustics loudspeakers?

Answer:

QED is our sister company and we always recommend it as many of the products have been developed together with Q Acoustics. In order of priority, we would always recommend using the best single wire speaker connection you can afford. We recommend you use good quality loudspeaker cable and avoid very thin bell wire cable type, a minimum wire gauge of 16AWG should be a starting point. If you then wanted to upgrade, you have the choice of adding QED jumpers or the ultimate upgrade of doubling the cables for full bi-wiring.
