    probably so if you want 2 3 meter runs it'll cost you 108 ukp for the wire and then you need to get it terminated with your connection of choice which will probably be another 40 odd quid.
    do a bit more shopping around and even check out 2nd hand cos for that sort of money or a little more you could find some quite respectable stuff... i saw 2x3m of isolda dct for 200 quid a while back and that would absolutely kill the qed stuff sound quality wise and it looks pretty spiffy too.
    cheers

    If you dont have a NAIM amp, or other amp unstable into unusual impedances, you could get some GOERTZ....AKA isolda without bells and whistles.

    I saw some here

    http://www.oxfordaudio.co.uk/sh.htm

    the price Im SURE is wrong though, they probably mean £95. It should massacre murder and bludgeon QED. Well I thik it does, and this is my post :D


    Chris

    NB Theyve got some 1/2 price Vienna Acoustic Mozarts, which are cracking £1500 speakers, if someones after an ace floorstander circa £750.

    tim,
    go and buy a copy of hi-fi world. about the last 1/3rd of the magazine is adverts, hi-fi news also has a few ads but not as many as hfw.
    the magazine isn't too bad a read either, very valves and vinyl but they also embrace compouter audio too, go figure...
    cheers
