Currently I owned a pair of QED Silver Anniversary XT cable for my front L/R of my current 5.1 setup. I plan to bi-amp using my Denon AVR 1910. Which of the below cables you guys recommend for my additional bi-amp cable?
1. QED Silver Anniversary XT 2. QED Silver Anniversary XT Evolution 3. Chord Carnival SilverScreen Can I mix between different brand or type listed above for my bi-amp setup? Please advise. |

IMO, better use the same cable / same length if possible.

Go for Chord. I just got one and I'm impressed with the details.
U can use different cable for bi-amp no prob. Play around and see which one you like. |

However SilverScreen speaker cable is quite a bulky cable so some users may prefer XT simply because it is easier to hide. 1. QED Silver Anniversary XT 2. QED Silver Anniversary XT Evolution 3.

Did anyone ever bought "Chord Carnival SilverScreen" it at futureshop.co.uk as it mention "Please Note: We are unable to ship this item for International orders if a local Chord cable distributor is available" in their website?
As I understand Msia do have local distributor for Chord cable. Please advise. |

I do not think bi-amping the 1910 will result in any improvement in sound coz the 1910 is just 90Wpc. Maybe more powerful amp can feel some but will be minimal. This is my 2cents.
