Single wire to the highs, then jumper to the bass was suggested to me a number of years ago by Stuart Marcus of Vampire Wire. I've since seen it illustrated that way in the hookup diagrams for Tannoy speakers. I've suggested it to others ever since.
Single-wire biwire versus single-wire plus jumper
My speakers have separate tweeter and mid-bass connectors, like so many do. I assume that shotgunning separate single-wire runs from amp to upper and lower is best (although this may be controversial). But I don't want to pay for double runs of this expensive cable and anyway it would look a bit messy.
I had been planning to run single wire to the mid-bass drivers and then jumper to treble.
This speaker manufacture offers the option of having a Single-wire run terminate in bi-wire at the speaker side. This eliminates the need for a jumper, but it means that the gauge of wire that arrives at the mid-woofer will be smaller than a pure single wire run with jumper.
What do you think? No audible difference? Huge difference? Ever tried both and compared?
Thanks,
