Single speaker wire on bi-posts with jumpers...??

The cross-wire configuration described by S7horton, is also promoted by Australian cable manufacturer Eichmann.

"The cross-wire configuration"

Please clarify this connection method.

Thanks,

I can't believe there's an audible difference between connecting your cables to the HF or LF or postive on top and negative on bottom. We're talking about a 2 inch bridge that's the equivalent of better than a 10 gauge wire. The only way you might hear a difference is if you use 50 gauge wire. I don't mean to be so harsh, but I think there are more tangible "weak links" to focus on.

I think it was HifiChoice in the UK a couple of years ago did some true scientific measuring of biwire vs. non-biwire (assuming decent jumpers) and found no measurable difference whatsoever anywhere and concluded that it made no difference sonically. I have tried biwire vs non-biwire, and single wire tops, bottoms and diagonally in two of my systems (one of which has been described as a "must biwire for best results" type deal) and cannot tell the difference.

Others swear it makes a difference. Who knows.

I was recommended on this site to wire into the treble, with Jumpers into the base. Even with good quality jumpers, this was a significantly better arrangement, in my system at least.
