DIY Jumper Suggestions

I would like to make a DIY jumper cable for my Mirage OMD 28's.  My speaker cables are NBS Omega IV which are already configured in biwire, but the OMD28's have 3 terminals on the back ("tri-wired").  Seeing that the length will be very short, I am able to go "flat out" on these jumpers ie buy some really nice wire.  Does anyone have wire suggestions?  I was either considering a very low gauge (8awg) silver plated military wire or something like Mundorf gold/silver wire.  Any tips appreciated.  Thanks.

Clear Day Cables make a great jumper cable. They are solid silver and so affordable you might as well just try them out and besides Paul offers a 30 day money back guarantee. Tried Nordost jumpers that were much more and felt the Clear Days were just as good if not better. You can spend a lot more but good luck on that.

@dgarretson 

Could you please give me a link to the exact wire from Rio Grande you referred to above? I am interested in the 8 gauge.  Thank you!

@dgarretson Great and thanks ! Decent pricing I might add. Ok. one last request. How about a link to the foil you used for your main cables? Did you end up using the foil as jumpers over the round wire? Do you find this wire is not thin and fatiguing? I ask because that has been my past experience with silver. Perhaps the foil is best? 

I want to order various gauges and play with designs if this wire is great sounding. I bet folks like Clear Dsy order from this site.
