I also have the SHL5+ 40s and have tried diagonal with better jumpers using AQ Rocket 88s.
Just for kicks, I cut 8 pieces of some old Monster Cable. Each piece is 6' long with both ends twisted together and tinned.
So now, I have 4 pieces going to each speaker utilizing all 4 posts with the jumpers removed.
Tried this with both my Hegel H190 and an old Jolida SJ 502A tube integrated.
Very minimal but noticeable improvement all around over the Rocket 88s.
Sound is more open and airy with better clarity.
4 pairs vs 1 pair per speaker certainly provides for a cumulative increase in wire gauge.
@ericsch - Agree 100% these are wonderful speakers!
