Description
Designed and handcrafted using a carefully selected combination of Duelund tinned copper conductors, the Audiolund Speaker Cable is meticulously fine-tuned to deliver exceptional sound quality while minimizing signal transmission loss.
Audiolund Speaker Cable ~ Xtreme Series
- Utilizes 2 × 12GA + 2 × 16GA + 2 × 20GA Duelund tinned copper conductors for both the positive and negative channels.
- A 2.5-meter pair incorporates a total of 20m × 12GA + 20m × 16GA + 20m × 20GA Duelund tinned copper wire.
- Multiple types and layers of shielding materials are employed to minimize noise and RFI/EMI interference.
- A unique damping design combines various anti-vibration and damping materials to suppress unwanted vibration and enhance isolation.
- Standard length: 2.5m, with additional lengths available.
- Termination options: Banana Plugs or Y-Spades.
The Xtreme Series builds upon the sound quality and characteristics of the Signature Series and Reference Series, with further refinements to conductor configuration, shielding, and damping. Each cable is terminated with audiophile-grade Y-Spades or Banana Plugs, creating Audiolund’s ultimate speaker cable design for audiophiles who recognize the importance of high-quality connectors in realizing the full potential of Duelund cables.
The Audiolund Xtreme Series Speaker Cable delivers a highly comprehensive and refined presentation, with the distinctive sonic character associated with Western Electric. Its sound is natural, detailed, smooth, and highly musical, complemented by a quiet background that allows subtle musical information to emerge with clarity.
With its extensive conductor configuration, advanced shielding, carefully engineered damping, and premium terminations, we believe the Xtreme Series has the performance to compete confidently with many significantly more expensive high-end speaker cables.
Xtreme Series Speaker Cable Cross-Sectional Area
Estimated conductor cross-sectional area per +/- channel: 10.27 mm² of Duelund tinned copper.
Humble Comments
The Xtreme Series exhibits a strong classic Western Electric (WE) sonic character, with a presentation that is well-balanced, natural, neutral, relaxed, and highly musical. Personally, the Duelund/WE sound has always been my preference, particularly for its effortless and engaging musicality.
In comparison, the True Silver Series presents a more modern silver character, with a sweet and delicate presentation, powerful and fast dynamics, a stronger tonal presence, greater warmth, and a richer, fuller-bodied texture.
In simple terms, the Xtreme Series represents the classic vintage WE sound, while the True Silver Series represents a modern silver sound.
To me, neither is inherently better than the other. Both offer an equally high level of performance, and the preferred choice will largely depend on your system configuration, listening preferences, and personal musical taste.
As a general observation, listeners with tube-based amplification may be more inclined toward the relaxed, natural, and musical character of the Xtreme Series, while those using solid-state amplification may prefer the fuller-bodied texture, speed, dynamics, and tonal presence of the True Silver Series. Ultimately, however, system synergy and personal preference remain the deciding factors.
The defining strength of the Xtreme Series is its musicality, while the True Silver Series excels in its rich, full-bodied texture and dynamic presentation.
It was precisely this appreciation for the different strengths of copper and silver that inspired us to create the Xtreme Silver Series and Ultimate Silver Series, combining selected sonic qualities from both design philosophies.
Selecting the Right Audiolund Series
For simplified product selection:
- Xtreme Series – For enthusiasts who prefer the classic vintage Duelund/Western Electric sonic character.
- True Silver Series – For listeners seeking the purity, speed, and transparency of modern 5N OCC Silver.
- Xtreme Silver Series – For those who enjoy the Duelund/Western Electric signature with additional silver-derived refinement and detail.
- Ultimate Silver Series – For listeners who favor silver performance while retaining elements of the classic Duelund character.
- Flagship Series – For those seeking an equal balance of both sonic signatures.
Cable Run-In
Most Audiolund cables employ multi-core constructions with multiple conductor combinations, and therefore require an extended run-in period before reaching their intended performance.
OCC Silver conductors use relatively thick solid-core wire and typically require a longer run-in period than Duelund tinned copper, which uses multiple parallel thin strands.
General Run-In Guidelines
- Most Audiolund cables: approximately 100–200 hours
- Xtreme Series: approximately 200–400 hours
These figures should be regarded as general guidelines, as actual run-in time may vary depending on the cable design, system, and usage conditions.
To describe Danny and his products would be to use words like artisan, master builder, a true professional in his communication, his build quality and sound quality of his products.
I have changed all of my cables over to Audiolund with no regrets.
The speaker cables arrived as discussed excellent build quality. They offered better bass, articulation throughout all frequency ranges, super quiet background.
I have used many brands, MIT, wireworld, dh labs, supra and many others, Audiolund equipped with Duelund wire is a bar setting product, an exception to the norm.
Well worth the money.
Thank you Danny
I have bought a pair of Audiolund Xtreme Speaker cable and Xtreme Jumpers. I have used different very high-end cable brands in my equipment, and lately I was hooking my amplifiers and speakers with duelund bare cable. What I notice (after some days of burn-in process with an audiodharma special edition cooker) once the cables were in use was more balanced sound, better bass, more lifelike sound with truly natural color and tone. The sound is very detailed, you can hear every music nuance without being analytic and a very coherent presentation. The voices gain in weight and naturalness. In general, maybe the end of the road in terms of speaker cable. Thanks
Since using this cable the tone sounds more detailed and powerful. Make it very enjoyable upon listening. I highly recommend

Google Translate: This pair of Duelund ultimate speaker cable is a improvement of one ear, the background becomes darker, the weak sound is clear and heard, and the sound is more emotional. I really want to listen again! The workmanship is very good, the seller is honest, all the plugs are genuine.
Took almost 2 weeks of continuous run-in to bring out the goodness of the cables, my patience paid off tremendously. If you know and enjoy Duelund cable signature, Audiolund cables are definitely for you, tonality and balance were spot-on in my system. As I understand, Danny’s cable recipes had gone through numerous iterations to arrive at where they are today. I use the True Silver series cables for all my digital, and Extreme Series for all my analogue needs. They are amazing once the cables started to settle in, just letting the music and emotions to flow through. Extreme Silver series will be next for me, hoping to taste the cherry on top of the cake with the selective use of OCC Silver cables. Truly artisanal products from an amazingly talented and humble craftsman.
声音平衡，音乐性很好，值得购买。

The speaker cable performs well in my system. It present more details, better separation, that I never hear before. I can listen to it for long period, not fatigue feeling, very musical. With this cable, my whole sound system brings up to another level. I highly recommend this cable to everyone.
