Reviews for AudioQuest Rocket 11 Bi-Wire Speaker Cable - Custom Length

I was interested in upgrading my speaker cables after a chat on the phone about different specs. I'm no audiophile; I need some flexibility in the cable how my system is positioned, so what I had narrowed it down to and the info received, I decided on the Audioquest Rocket 11. I'm very pleased with the result.

I thought the existing cables I had were good (even though a bit old now ...), but installing the AudioQuest Rocket 11 Bi-wire changed my opinion completely.

The sound quality is excellent and a definite improvement over the old cables. It sounds like a new system! The way the speaker plugs were fitted was very professional and made it easy to "plug and play".

Futureshop's support provided by Futureshop during the purchasing procedure was first class. I would definitely recommend it.

I purchased this product 'blind' - based on consistently good What Hi-Fi reviews. And I'm delighted with my purchase. I opted for the 96-hour burn-in (at no extra cost) and was really pleased with the sound of my system as soon as I wired up the speakers. So much so, I didn't go to bed until well after 3.00 am. I just kept putting on fav records and CDs all night!

I'm using the Rocket 11 with a Rega Planar 3, Audiolab 8300A, Marantz CD6006 UK EDITION and Q Acoustics 3050 floor standing speakers. Getting good detail, depth of bass and controlled treble - suits my ears perfectly!

I really liked the Futureshop option of selecting the plugs etc., at the amp and speaker ends - and the associated prices. And was great to have the speaker cable marked for directionality! I would most certainly recommend Futureshop as a supplier (prompt service and no ridiculous postage costs for residing in Scotland!) and also the Rocket 11 speaker cable itself as an excellent mid-cost option.

This cable has transformed the sound of my hifi and speakers from great to an incredible sound quality.

I don’t know why I didn’t upgrade the speaker cables sooner! There is so much clarity, but it retains the musicality. I hear more range with more punch, and notice the space in the music too. To my ears, simply brilliant, and I am so pleased I bought them - it’s like having a new hifi system!

Having previously bought Chord Carnival Silver Screen bi-wire cables for the 3 front speakers in my set up, as an upgrade a few years ago from the QED bi-wire cables.

Having read reviews and after speaking with Adam and being well informed about this cable, I decided to get the AudioQuest Rocket 11 bi-wire cables. I’m very glad I did, the sound has improved in clarity and is more expansive, my lodger also has noticed the difference, so would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of buying. The cables came within a week, were very nicely made and burnt in as well.

Thank you again, Adam and Futureshop for your advice, great service with quick delivery.

There is little to say. I chose the cable/plug combination from the website, which gave me the information I needed, and ordered it. They contacted me to check if I only needed one cable, which I thought was very good service ( i did only need one in fact). It arrived , and have got a very satisfactory result - my hifi sounds great.

Utterly brilliant.

I have Martin Logan panel speakers and a Musical Fidelity Mi6 amp, upgraded by JS Audio. When music got busy, things got a little bright sounding and mushy. It was quite unpleasant for long periods. I tried Rocket 11 (single bi-wire) to replace my QED Revelation (twin pairs, so fully bi-wired). Prior to this I had tried Chord Signature and Odyssey cables. The Rocket 11s were a revelation: exceptionally detailed, but smooth and with great presence and a huge sound stage. Easily the BEST cable I've ever used and ridiculously cheap for such performance. I could live with these forever but I was tempted to try the 33s, to see if I could build on the 11's attributes further. I'll paste a review on these on the Rocket 33 page when they arrive.

If I had to gripe it would be the 11's terminations, which seem cheap after the beautifully made QED AIRLOCs I was used to. I'm not sure either - but don't care! - whether my performance improvement was a trait of biwiring. AudioQuest is one of the few companies recommending bi-wiring if your speakers are capable of it. There's an intriguing PDF on the company website which explains more.

To my mind it's never about the cost with cables; it's about what construction, impedance, etc suits your amp, speakers and ears. So start with a well recommended 'budget' cable and see if it works any magic. If not, try another well recommended budget cable from a different manufacturer. Something will just click with your system.

First rate service from Future Shop, as always. Top guys. If you can wait, I suggest going for the free cable burn in.

Having previously been a firm believer that speaker wire doesn't matter that much (to a degree), I ended up getting drunk, going down an internet rabbit hole and purchased these cables. I had completed forgotten I'd done this when they arrived so was fairly confused when I opened the bag.

Luckily in my drunken state I selected the correct terminals for my mid range set up. Using them with the Sonos Amp + B&W607s alongside the B&W ASW610 and a couple of Sonos One SLs for rears (have these disabled for music and only active for surround sound).

I was quite frankly blown away by the difference in sound quality the cables produced, noticeable most for me in the crispness of the high notes, still sounding like B&W sound but tighter and more refined.

Would highly recommend and Future Shop did a great job at building the cables and sending in a timely fashion to West Australia which is impressive as I'm pretty sure the post office here still operates with horse and cart.

Much love, thanks guys, will be back if I need to expand. xx

As usual excellent service. I've had to change from Nordost Flatline, quite old now but still excellent, because I needed a longer run due to changes in the speaker placement, giving them more space, which has improved their sound a lot, btw. The cable arrived promptly and I was initially impressed with the very professional terminations, even down to different lengths for the bass/mid and treble bi- wire inputs at the speaker end.

The immediate performance was much better than I expected, even though, impatiently, I didn't choose burn in. I've had it connected for a week now, and I am liking this cable more and more with use, especially with my better recordings, on Vinyl, CD, and from Laptop to DAC. Everything is generally very good, and sometimes startling - in a good way.
