Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers


I have two types of speakers (both bi-wired) that I use in my audio systems that are used with a solid state amp and a tube preamp, listen to both vinyl and cd's and all types of music. Prices not to exceed $2,000.00 for an 8.0 ft. biwired pair.

One speaker pair are the Usher Mini-Diamond 2's circa 2017 

The other speaker pair are the Eminent Technology LFT-8b'S brand new

I’m a fan of the single cable run with jumpers

- but not just those silly little jumpers that some with the speakers

You need to make your own jumpers using

  • 0.5 meter of 2 x 18 gauge UP-OCC solid copper from VH Audio FOR EACH JUMPER!
  • KLE Innovations Banana plugs

Why such a long jumper? - I do not know the answer to that but I exchanged extensive emails with a guy in Bulgaria that found 0,5 meter to be the optimum length.

So I tried them and they worked amazingly well

As for the actual speaker cables - take a look at Zavfino products - they actually work very well

- they are very well designed and built and their entry level are reasonably priced

Hope that helps - Steve

some manufacturers will sell you an identical pair of jumpers very inexpensively if you are buying the full length pair...

I have both a single run of AZ Satori and shotgun, and I prefer the shotgun versus the single run with good jumpers by a good margin.  But that’s in my system with my speakers so YMMV.  Just my experience FWIW. 

You would notice the biggest difference if you went to horizontal bi-amping instead of bi-wiring. Good wires are similar unless we are talking solid silver wires.

Uh, what?
