Superb speaker cables built by Dr Richard Bews, using a unique construction pairing multi strand copper conductors for the bass, and solid core copper or silver for the tweeters. In very good condition, they are thick but highly flexible and give a very neutral, detailed sound with excellent bass and airy midrange. Upgrading to all Audioquest cables hence the reluctant sale. 5m bi wired pair with bananas for the amp end and spades for the speaker end. Open to sensible offers.
At £350, this sits well below the typical used market for the category: against your comparables, it’s under the 25th percentile of £1,090 and far beneath the median of £1,833, so this reads as a strong bargain rather than merely fair. The gap to the upper end is even more striking, with the 75th percentile at £3,728, so the asking price is very easy to like on value alone.
What makes it interesting is that LFD’s speaker cable/bi-wire looms are generally well regarded for being practical, solidly built, and a sensible way to let a resolving system breathe without spending silly money. If the pair is complete and unmolested, the upside here is straightforward: clean, low-risk value from a respected brand at a price that leaves plenty of room in the budget for setup or system matching.

LFD Audio, a boutique British hi-fi manufacturer, traces its origins to 1987 in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, England. Founded by Dr. Richard Bews, a PhD student of Professor Hawksford—who pioneered influential audio research groups—the brand embodies a commitment to minimalist, low-distortion electronics. From its early days, LFD has prioritized hand-assembly by Bews himself, crafting components with painstaking selection of parts for sonic purity over aesthetic flair.
The company focuses primarily on solid-state amplifiers, including long-running integrated models like the LE, Zero Mk III LE, Mistral, and NCSE, alongside specialized gear such as the MCT preamplifier. LFD also produces high-end cables, interconnects, and phono leads, often refined in collaboration with dealers like Unique Audio, which has partnered with them for over 30 years. Their lineup eschews flashy features, turntables, speakers, DACs, or headphones, zeroing in on amplification and cabling as core strengths.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, LFD commands a cult following among discerning audiophiles for delivering some of the most natural-sounding solid-state amps available, despite their utilitarian, "butt ugly" appearance. As a low-profile, one-man operation far from mainstream fanfare, it appeals to buyers seeking uncompromised performance in a vintage-inspired, boutique package.
