Connect banana jumpers to locking banana speaker cables?

Hi everyone! I am in the market for speaker jumper cables, and have a question regarding my connection options? My speaker cables are single runs with locking Furutech banana plugs. The Furutech's will accept another banana plug into the back of them, but I am unsure as to if the quality of the connection would be the same as using a spade - spade or spade - banana jumper? Has anyone tried this?

My reason for asking is that I am constantly finding some great deals on jumper cables in the used market, they however seem to be the wrong configuration, such as banana - banana or directional banana - spade.

Thanks in advance to any thoughts that you could provide on the subject.

I found out that the best sound is when the banana plug from the amp are connected to the upper bi-wire input  of the speakers and the banana plugs of the Tellurium links are connected to the lower bi-wires of the speakers.

I'm sorry if I'm not getting this, but all that link is showing me is the performance profiles of their different lines of jumpers. I'm just trying to figure out if I can plug a banana jumper into the back of my Furutech banana, or do I have to resort to using spades on the posts that my cables connect to? I do really appreciate you time and input.

as long as you  have a solid connection, there should be no sonic degradation.

Thank you for your help! It definitely opens up options knowing that I can use banana's or spade's on the cable end. As with your system, I currently feel that mine sounds best when the cables are connected to the upper posts as well.

As I have posted before - Proac for example have told me it makes no difference what post the amp is connected to then jumpers to the others. I have not tested that as my brain says lower first, but I do not know definitively.
