Product Description

Delivering performance at a good price. Chord Company Clearway X speaker cable has won WHAT HIFI? Best Speaker Cable award 2015, 2016 and 2017. It uses a clever combination of materials to produce a speaker cable with a performance level that usually costs a lot more!

The Clearway X uses 14 AWG multi-strand oxygen free copper conductors big enough to bring control and definition to both book shelf and floor standing loud speakers. The insulation is FEP which has a very similar performance to PTFE. The choice of insulation has a profound effect on the ultimate performance of a speaker cable and FEP contributes to the neutrality of the Clearway X speaker cable. Other types of insulation will often produce unwanted tonal colourations and while your music should be full of colour your cables shouldnt. The conductors are arranged in a twisted pair configuration before a soft PVC internal jacket is applied, this helps to minimise mechanical noise and also spaces the twin contra-wound foil shields in relation to the conductors.

Shielding a speaker cable brings subtle nuances that make music come alive. Clearway X can transform the performance of your system particularly when it comes to coherence and timing. It will let you further into your favourite music.

Available in terminated pairs and off the reel per metre. Most of our dealers have demonstration sets available, it will cost you nothing but your time to listen, and for a music lover youll hear its worth in the first few bars of music.

...very open. The instrument image placement is accurate and the soundstage is both wide and deep.

...it is powerful and exhilarating...

Bass control is tight and all of the complexities of the music are handled with ease.

...performance is stirring and majestic.

...oozes quality and refinement...huge dynamic range.

The rhythmic instrumental backing has a super-tight bass that is both full and punchy throughout.

The improvements were night and day. Bass was more revealing and bestowed with tangible solidity. Midrange clarity - strings and vocals were in particular - was better, while previously-elusive treble details now burst out of the mix... conveyed dynamic swings with greater ease, but the biggest advantage is that everything just sounds... more musical.

The Chord ClearwayX is still something of a bargain.

OUTSTANDING - Amongst the best.

FOR:

- Audible improvements across the spectrum.

- Musical involvement

- Well thought-out design, impeccably-executed

Not the flashiest cable, its strength is aiding dynamics and musicality, as well as knitting instruments together for an enjoyable experience.

About the brand

The Chord Company was formed in 1984. It all started over dinner one night in Salisbury, when a group of visiting Naim Audio USA retailers asked Naim Audio UK for a good-quality DIN-to-RCA interconnect. At the table, was one Sally Gibb, then married to a Naim Audio executive, who made the (historic) suggestion that she make the cables and start a business. With the blessing of Naim Audio, the journey to make cables for America began.

With USA referring to cables as ‘cords’, the name The Chord Company, with its obvious musical connotations, seemed perfect and it quickly stuck. Sally drew a logo, designed the packaging and started testing prototypes. Completely British design and construction, although difficult to source at the time, was paramount and days of searching eventually led to suppliers of sufficient quality. Friends at Naim Audio provided expertise and advice, with many of them helping to build the cables.

The first prototype was named "Chrysalis Cable" and the Americans swiftly returned with an initial order of 250! Cables were built, tested, packed and taken along to the Post Office. Invoices were typed on a typewriter! After two steady years, The Chord Company got its first press review (by Malcolm Steward) and then the phone started to ring…
