Chord Company EpicX: Elevating System Performance with Clarity and Control
Posted by The Sound Organisation on Aug 11th 2025
The Chord Company continues to refine its already impressive lineup with the EpicX speaker cables, an evolution of the award-winning OdysseyX design. Featuring 12 AWG silver-plated oxygen-free copper conductors and XLPE dielectric insulation encased in a durable PVC outer jacket, the EpicX is engineered for exceptional shielding against high-frequency noise—allowing your system to deliver music with greater purity and precision.
During extended listening sessions, the EpicX proved transformative. Soundstage width and instrument separation improved noticeably, with bass becoming tighter, more textured, and solid. From the natural timbre of percussion to the pinpoint imaging of center-stage trumpet, the cables revealed new layers of realism and nuance. High frequencies gained a shimmering detail without harshness, while dynamics felt more immediate and impactful.
With a full loom of EpicX in place—including interconnects and digital coax—the listening experience deepened even further. Ambient details emerged with newfound clarity, and the overall presentation took on a more refined and musically engaging character. Piano notes rang with lifelike resonance, and brass instruments carried both power and warmth.
At their price point, the Chord EpicX speaker cables represent an outstanding upgrade for systems ready to unlock higher levels of performance. They deliver superb detail retrieval, defined bass, and a more immersive soundstage, making them an ideal choice for discerning listeners who want to experience their music to the fullest.
