”For the money these are the best speaker cables we've tried and tested.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 award-winner.

More than just another Rumour

Replacing the PTFE insulation with high performance XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene) improves the performance of this already impressive cable. As used in their high-end Signature XL cable, XLPE outperformed PTFE in listening tests. Superior insulation reduces interference, giving a smoother, more natural sound with enhanced detail.

Quality, silver-plated construction
Two sets of silver-plated conductors are insulated with XLPE and arranged in a twist configuration. The XLPE insulated conductors are held in place by a vibration damping outer jacket. Using silver-plated copper gives the sound a more musical balance and, combined with the XLPE insulation, a more lifelike presentation.

High-end performance from an unobtrusive cable
Rumour X produces excellent definition right through the frequency range, outstanding dynamics and, once run in, an outstandingly neutral tonal quality. This is a cable that performs like a high-end speaker cable yet has a diameter of only 5 mm - making Rumour X the ideal choice for extracting genuine performance from a highly discreet cable.

Hear the difference, with the Chord Company Rumour X.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceedingly Helpful I visited the Bournemouth store this week on a mission to get my 1980’s hi-fi systems back up and running. Paul the store manager was incredibly helpful and sorted all the connections out for me perfectly. I would fully recommend this store and it’s staff.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Surely cable can't make that much difference? Or so I thought. Paired this with Technics SA600 receiver and Dennon dp300 turntable with Q Acoustic 3030I speakers. Changed the cable from decent £10 per meter cable to this. The sound was transformed. It's too difficult to describe, but it's taken the system up to an elite level.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High quality cable Recommended to me by the Richer Sounds London Bridge store. Have it hooked from my Klipsch floorstanding speakers to a Cambridge Audio amp. Solid cable, excellent sonic clarity. Would highly recommend.
