Why would you ever want to run the speaker cables to the woofer terminals and then jumper to the high terminals? Don't you want the purist signal to your mids and trebles? And then you want to change to 4-6" silver jumpers serialized with your 8' copper cables to bring on greater treble? I think you will have to strain very hard to hear any difference by doing this. If your system is lacking treble extension, fix it at the source of the problem. Using cables as bandaids to compensate for tonal incoherency is never a good idea. And there is no guarantee that silver here or anywhere else in your system will fix your problem. It's not always the wire material, but rather the cable design and implementation. |
@jafox Makes a good point about the mistake of using cables as tone controls, although I disagree with his spelling of purest. |
If the OP's goal is neutrality, WireWorld would be my recommendation. Honestly, my old, beat up ears are no longer good enough to tell the difference between short jumpers. A long time ago, industry insiders determined that they could retire early if they could successfully market cheap to make wire as expensive, exotic tone control cables (exotic creatures, anyone). Now, it's dogma. Sheesh. |
