Question Are these components matched?

[jgs5093]

Hello community! I'm planning a setup for an outdoor patio (16ft x 18ft, amp and speakers are within 50ft) and after some research I plan on using these 3 components.

WiiM Amp Ultra
B&W AM-1 Speakers
Audioquest Rocket 11 Cables

I'm wondering how I can tell if this system makes sense together. From what I understand these are all decent entry/mid level components and should work and sound well together. I'm concerned I'm wasting money on the cables and won't get any noticable improvement vs a spool of mediabridge or monoprice 12AWG.

Thank you all!

Rightly so.
Go for 12AWG (4mm) copper off the drum, for your distances 👍
Maybe give the cable some additional weatherproofing inside some thin trunking.

And yes, I'd say you've made a good choice of components.
(As a Wiim Ultra owner, I like their control app - can't imagine any other being too much better).
