Biwire jumpers as speaker cables?


Assuming that I have monoblocks for power amps and they can be placed fairly close to speakers, can biwire jumpers be used as speaker cables?

Thx for your opinions.

If they are long enough, yes. I have some 1 M Siltech F 12 ribbons that I have used both for mono blocks and jumpers. My 3" 14 gauge solid silver wire, not so much. Since I have seen everything from bell wire to welding cable used by someone somewhere as speaker cable there is no reason you couldn't do it. A good idea? Depends on the jumpers and your system configuration.
yes, that should work. Frankly, i am amazed you can get the jumper to reach...the terminals must be...what?...within 5 inches of each other? Super-close!

(BTW, I happen to have a pair of Transparent Audio Reference jumpers which I used with my SF Guarneris (since have sold the G's on)...but kept the Jumpers. If interested, feel free to email.)
Why not ? IMHO though I think 7 ft is about the minimum for any given cable to sound its best.
Thanks for the encouragement.

I am thinking of monoblocks for reasons like better channel separation, (hopefully) better dynamic, etc. But then many audiophiles subscribe to the Long IC/Short SC scheme, and I think, why not take it a bit to the limit? Jumpers are probably the shortest commercially available speaker wires. Besides, this scheme may represent an opportunity to have expensive cables in more reachable prices, e.g. JPS Aluminata, $500 for jumnpers vs. $6600 for the cables.
You can always make cables shorter,longer not so easy,
To me would depend on price of jumpers.
