Hooking up Pass Labs X600 mono's to B&W 801's

Need some advice on best method to hook up my B&W 801's to my Pass Labs X600 mono amplifiers.
My first time using mono amplifiers and wanted to learn about the best way to run these into my system. Any insight would be appreciated!

I have a BAT VK-32SE pre-amp, VK-D5SE player, Pass Labs X600's and finally the 801S3 speakers.
I am using the balanced interconnects throughout the system and want to know best method for connecting the speakers. The 801's already have the jumpers affixed. Since the Pass Labs amplifiers have 4 binding posts, is my best direction going to a 4-wire speaker cable and eliminating the jumpers on the speaker? Thanks!

You can either do a shot gun set which is two cables at the speaker end or 2 completely separate pairs either way works just as well.

I would be more concerned with the quality of the cabling.

Also The BAT CD player although a very good player is out of date and a newer digital front end will sound better.

You absolutely want to eliminate those cheap jumpers.

More cable equals more current and better sound.
