Offered is „Lautsprecherkabel - QED XT25 – 2 × 5 m – mit Bananensteckern – High-End - NEU“ by QED as new device from the category „Speaker Cable“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4310335548 ends on 30.10.2026 at 06:18 o'clock.
At €220 for a pair of 5m QED XT25 cables with bananas, you’re paying well above the typical used market for this model—specifically, it sits near the 75th percentile (€259) of recent EUR listings, but the listing claims “NEU” (new) condition, which is the key distinction. New XT25 with bananas typically retails around €119–€140 for 2m pairs, and unterminated XT25 is roughly €6–€7.50 per meter, so a 5m terminated pair new would realistically cost €150–€180. That makes €220 ambitious for a new item, unless it includes premium extras or is genuinely rare stock.
Still, the XT25 is a respected entry-level high-end cable: it carries core musical performance from QED’s Supremus line down to a budget tier, with solid specs like 25 mm² cross-section and low capacitance, and listeners report it “looks and works great” with no urge to upgrade. If this is truly new, original-owner stock with full packaging and no wear, it’s a decent buy for someone wanting quality bananas and 5m runs without custom termination. But if it’s used or missing accessories, the price loses its appeal quickly.

QED: British Audio Cable Pioneer
Quality Electronic Design was founded in 1973 by Bob Abraham and Ian Vine, establishing itself as a British specialist in audio and AV connectivity. The company emerged from a philosophy that cables deserve serious engineering attention—a radical notion at the time. QED's landmark 79 Strand cable, released in the mid-1970s, became widely recognized as the world's first specialist loudspeaker cable and fundamentally shifted industry perception by demonstrating that cable design could measurably impact audio performance.
QED's product portfolio centers on audio and audiovisual cables and connectivity solutions. The brand has built its reputation through rigorous engineering principles, extensive measurement protocols, and computer-aided design techniques applied across speaker cables, interconnects, and related components. This scientific approach has earned the company numerous industry awards and established it as the market leader in premium cable design.
Positioned in the high-end and mid-tier segments, QED commands respect among knowledgeable audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts who prioritize technical rigor and proven performance. The brand occupies a unique space as both a heritage player with five decades of innovation and a contemporary technology leader. QED remains headquartered in the UK and maintains distribution internationally, appealing to buyers who view cables as legitimate audio components worthy of investment rather than commodity items.
