how to wire up speakers ...??

Hello all,

So I have recently been reviewing the age old argument of single wiring your speakers vs. biwring and / or removing the bridge plate between the binding posts and connecting them with jumper cables matching your speaker cable.

Something occurred to me last night about another way to wire up your speakers….

WHAT ABOUT LIKE THIS---?????

Would you consider this to be ‘biwring’ or single?
Good idea or bad idea?
Pluses and minuses to wiring this way?

I haven’t tested it out yet, and wanted to gather some opinions before actually amping them up this way.

Thanks
Steve

It is single wire, but could be better than using jumpers, as you would be eliminating three connectors per lead.

Theoretically, no connector is better than any connector, however, you will not find many exotic cables using bare leads. If you are happy with inexpensive wire, this is a good option.

You could also wrap the wire around each terminal to gain more surface area.
