Speaker Sound


Hi.

I hope that I do not sound dumb asking this. I just connected a pair of PSB Stratus Mini's to a Krell S-300i without jumpers or biwire  speaker cable. Is it common to have a dull lifeless sound without jumpers or biwire speaker cable?

Or use speaker wire as jumpers.

@teeter ^obviously^ … but at this point the OP could cut up and old extension cord and use that wire if he/she was too lazy to leave the house.

“no wire” jumping over, is worse that using some “non magical” speaker wire.

I got ahead ahead of myself. I realized that there were no jumpers. I owned a another pair Stratus Mini's years ago and used them with a Bryston 3B-SST. I removed the jumpers and used JPS Labes Biwire cable. That is probably the issue. I have biwire cables coming tomorrow.

No wonder you're getting poor sound with cheap jumpers.  Paper clips indeed!

You need to get the new Super Jumpers by Reptile Grease.  $1,100.  Each.

You get what you pay for.  You'll love 'em.
