Length of speaker cables


I just went from 2 channel amp to mono blocks. Is it important that I stop using 4 meter audio quest rocket 88 and downsize to 6 ft? Will there be an audible improvement?

Good advice all around. I'd like to add don't fall for gold plated anything; copper will more than suffice.

I switched to 0000 AWG welding cables. Biggest improvement for $$ spent I’ve ever had!! Not even rebuilding my entire listening room resulted in such a night and day difference!! Made from 36 AWG strands, in an 8-fold double helix within a helix configuration. Gold plated silver connectors. Silver welded to the helix cable. Amazing!!


+1 for Morrow audio speaker cables. I am using the xp-7. Vast improvement over the Tara labs I was using. I'd kep the longer cables, just in case....
Rocket 88s are well designed cables (I have some 33s). Sell 'em online someplace to fund shorter cables if need be.
I’d sell your AQ Rocket 88’s, but I strongly suggest not cutting them, especially because they were already terminated by AQ. I’m sure there’s someone out there looking for that exact cable in that exact length. For what you can get for selling a 4 meter pair, you could most likely find an equally good quality 1-2 meter pair of new or even used cables depending on how close you’re putting each amp to each speaker.

Good luck @steven0713 regardless of what you decide to do!
