Question about bi-wired speakers


Is there much loss using jumpers on bi-wired speakers as opposed actually bi-wiring them?

On my Amphion Argons and Totem Arros, I've tried both ways and prefer bi-wired to jumpered. However, I haven't had particularly high-quality jumpers to use for comparison.

Amphion recommended *not* bi-wiring, however.

In the end, as mentioned, speakers will probably respond differently in different configurations, and the end result/preference is probably too subjective to make a blanket statement, so the best thing to do would be try different configurations. The worst case is you'll cycle through a couple of speaker cables or jumpers and sell off the ones you decide not to keep.

We should have known that Mr. Reynolds would chime in with such a delightful insight such as this. Bravo, Bob!!!

Check to see what your speaker manufacturer recommends. I think a lot of it depends on the specific speaker. I know in my case, on both my B&W 805’s and Totem Mani 2’s bi-wiring was an improvement.
The jumpers should be used as a temporary fix or at least until you can try bi-wiring.
For whatever the reason.( this can be argued to death) My speakers sound better bi-wired.
