To Bi-Wire or use Jumpers?

Looking for suggestions. I just purchased new speakers the Klipsch Heresy 111 special edition and was wondering if i would benefit from bi wiring or just get jumpers. My gear is,  Primaluna Premium Dialog HP integrated with my source being the Sony HAP1ZES. The speaker cable is Tellurium Q entry level silver which i was using with my previous Dynaudio speakers. Interconnect is DNM. If i bi wire, looking at Audio Quest Castle Rock, Audience Conductor E and maybe ClearDay cables. I would welcome any other suggestions. As far as jumpers, not sure, never used them. Thanks for any feedback.

.... With bi-wire all you are doing is doubling the amount of conductor resulting in way lower resistance for the low voltage DC current.
Huh? What DC current are you talking about? If you have DC on your speaker cables, you have a problem.

cleeds, looks like ayonsinha1 hasn't taken Audio 101 yet or if he did, then maybe skipped class too many times. Here's another comment he made that jumped at me while reading a different recent thread.

"Only thing that matters is the gauge for analog signals. Its low voltage DC current running through. The fatter the cable easier the flow."

ayonsinha1, it's usually best to have knowledge of a subject before offering advice about it.

@brian27b If you like your Tellurium Q, buy another pair.   From my experience with 3 different speakers, 2 pairs of speaker cables offered the best bi-wiring result.
