ED Genesis Silver Spiral Bi-Wire
Genesis Silver Spiral Bi-Wire extends the already remarkable performance envelope of standard Gensis Silver Spiral by using Genesis dual core technology in a compact quad core format (just 20mm in diameter).
This ensures that the grip and transient precision offered by the ultra low resistance of Genesis directly benefits a speaker’s separate drive units which are fed from the amplifier’s output terminals along dedicated bass and treble conductors.
With no splitting or sharing of cores to degrade damping and increase resistance (a problem common to many bi-wire cables), dynamic impact is maximised and distortion reduced to vanishingly low levels. The result is unparalleled musical cohesion and a truly three-dimensional soundstage with solid, believable images you can almost reach out and touch, even during the most complex musical passages.

Starting from the inside, Genesis Silver Spiral comprises two grouped bunches of conductors. Each Group is made up of nine individually insulated silver plated 99.999% Oxygen Free Copper cores twisted around two central fillers (one red, one white) in QED's special spiral geometry to minimise sound-degrading "proximity effect". Silver Plated OFC provides greater conductivity than copper alone and delivers superb resolution and delicacy, especially when used as part of a high end system.
All elements of the dielectric, including the thin, low density conductor insulation, are Polyethylene (a material with a low dielectric constant and an ability to dramatically reduce signal leakage). The grouping geometry reduces inductance between conductors, thus minimising field effect distortions. Aluminium mylar tape separates the twisted conductors and the translucent PVC jacket provides a tough protective flexible outer cover.
