Analysis Plus Silver APEX Speaker Cable - 6 Foot - Spade to Spade - Pair

Analysis Plus Silver APEX Speaker Cable — 6 Foot — Spade to Spade — Pair

What It Does in Your System

The Top of the Analysis Plus Silver Line

Analysis Plus has built cables in Flushing, Michigan since 1993. The company started as a scientific research and design firm, and it still designs cables using computer modeling and measurement rather than tradition. Silver APEX is the most advanced speaker cable in their silver range.

This is a reference-level cable for a system where the rest of the chain is already sorted. Six feet suits a compact room or a setup where the amplifier sits between the speakers rather than off against a far wall.

Hollow Oval Conductors, Nested Three Deep

Most cable uses conductors that are round or flat. Analysis Plus builds theirs as a hollow oval tube — the patented geometry the company is known for. Silver APEX takes it further: a hollow oval inside a hollow oval inside a hollow oval, three 9 AWG conductors in all.

The idea behind the shape is current distribution. At high frequencies, current tends to crowd toward the outside of a conductor. Analysis Plus says the hollow oval spreads current more evenly, which keeps resistance low even at the top of the audio band.

A Double Shield, Which Speaker Cable Rarely Has

Shielding is common on interconnects and rare on speaker cable. Silver APEX has two shields — the nested conductor structure does double duty, wrapping the inner conductors in metal.

Analysis Plus credits this for the cable's very low noise floor. Shielding matters most when your cable runs near power cords, dimmers, or wireless gear, which is easy to end up doing when the amplifier sits between the speakers.

Is This Right for You?

Worth confirming before you order:

• Your binding posts take spades. Spades slide around the post and clamp when you tighten the collar. Some amplifiers use recessed EU-style posts that will not accept a spade at all — check both ends of the chain first.
• Measure the real routing path. Six feet is a short-to-medium run, and this is a stiff cable. Allow for a gentle curve at each end rather than measuring straight-line distance.
• This is a full-range cable, not a bi-wire set. Two connectors per end. If your speakers have four posts and you want to bi-wire, this is not the configuration you need.

Setup & Installation

Loosen the collar on each binding post, slide the spade around the post, then tighten by hand until snug. Firm is enough — over-tightening can crack a plastic collar or strip the threads. Match red to red and black to black on every connection.

Because this is a heavy 9 AWG cable, support it at both ends. Leave a gentle curve rather than a sharp bend, and make sure the cable's own weight is not hanging off the spade. Re-check the connections after a few weeks, since spades can loosen slightly as things settle.

Features & Specifications

Patented Hollow Oval Geometry
An oval tube conductor that Analysis Plus designed to distribute current more evenly than round or flat wire.

Triple-Nested Conductor Design
Three 9 AWG hollow oval conductors, each seated inside the next, in Analysis Plus's most advanced speaker cable structure.

Double Shielding
Two layers of shielding for a low noise floor — uncommon on speaker cable at any price.

Silver-Over-Copper Conductors
High-purity silver over an oxygen-free copper core, where the copper gives the hollow oval the strength to hold its shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the conductor hollow?
At higher frequencies, current concentrates near the surface of a conductor and largely skips the center. A hollow shape puts the metal where the current actually travels. Analysis Plus reports lower resistance at the frequency extremes as a result.

Should I choose spades or bananas?
Spades make broad, clamped contact and hold a heavy cable securely, so they are the usual choice for a cable this size. Bananas are easier to plug and unplug, and they are the better option if your amplifier uses recessed posts that block a spade. Both are available on Silver APEX.

Can I have these re-terminated later?
Yes. Analysis Plus offers a re-termination service, so a spade-terminated pair can be converted to bananas if you change amplifiers. Contact them directly for current pricing and turnaround.
