Reviews for Chord Rumour X Speaker Cable

I purchased this with Chord Ohmic banana plugs in 2 mts for each variant. This replaced my Audio Quest Rocket 11, which had good sound but was bulky, and the plug ends kept bending and coming off - no such issue with the Ohmic connectors, which are solid.

The wire itself is super thin as speaker cables go and thus manageable - not loading under its own weight - (except that I have to be careful not to damage it when I move it or clean the area - it being rather thin).

I am running Dynaudio Special 40 with Hegel H190.

Overall, I am happy with the cable. The sound is where I want it to be: not super bright, and the vocals stand out in my system. I am hoping that after it settles down a bit more, it will open up further.

The sound is amazing using a Naim Unity Nova with Bowers and Wilkins speakers. DSD and 2xDSD files sound spectacular.

Thank you for burning the cables for 96 hours instead of the 48 I requested.

Your attention to customer satisfaction shows.

I have a Wyred 4 sound amplifier and Stirling LS3 5A speakers, and I was using cheap wire from the hardware store.

I saw similar types of cables at a friend’s place and thought, why not?

They really do improve the clarity of the classical music I hear, with more detail of instruments.

The Rumour X speaker cable is very well made. Banana plugs make for an effective connection.

Performance is a clear improvement on basic copper wire, which I previously used.

I bought a pair of Chord Rumour X speaker cables. They arrived sooner than I expected, as I asked for a 96-hour burn time.

The cables were very well packaged. I’ve had them for about a week now and am so happy with them.

They sound fantastic, I can’t stop listening to them, I would highly recommend to anyone.

With a change of speakers and electronics, I needed new cables. In my new setup, the previous Kimber Kable 4PR speaker cables had a constricted soundstage with some smearing in the bass.

The Chord Rumour X solved both issues at a reasonable price.

It has improved my sound quality considerably.

From the moment I plugged it in, the difference was apparent.

Thank you

Based on What's HiFi reviews, I replaced my 12-Gauge Energy Connoisseur speaker wires with this thin Chord Rumour X Speaker Cable.

It was a clear improvement in the overall sound image and clarity. It completely changed my perception of lower gauge wires sounded better.

Highly recommended

Significant improvement in clarity and punches with this cable.

I am impressed with the performance this little cable can deliver.

The low, mid, and high have much balance and detail.

I decided to upgrade my speaker cables from some QED XT40s (and needed shorter length for the new house).

I ordered based on reviews here and online. I was a little surprised and concerned when the cables were delivered to me. They are so thin (certainly in comparison to the 4mm section of XT40), and I really wasn’t sure how they’d perform.

Goddamn, they are great! Lows are cleaner/tighter, and mids and highs are much more detailed and expressive.

No idea how they squeeze that performance from a tiny cable!
