Wondering about jumpers..

You may also want to check out Walker Audio's silver jumpers. I am currently using them with my Tyler Taylo Reference monitors - the upgrade was not subtle. Given that they are silver, it is possible that they may not be a perfect match for bright sounding speakers.

Unfortunately jumpers do make a difference. If you can, remove the plate that holds the terminals, and put all the hot wires on one of the red terminal and all the cold wires on the black terminal and reassemble. This sounds better than any jumper on the planet and is free. If this is not possible then write a complaining letter to the speaker manufacturer about how his bi-wire design really ticks you off. Many designers have unnecessarily created this hassle due to 'customer demand' so let's change their perception of what customers really want.

Redkiwi, to your point, why ARE there so many bi-wireable 2 ways? Especially with regard to small monitors - I don't understand the benefit. Reading your post, I feel almost silly for never thinking of that.

Sdatch, I've owned two speakers over the years that were bi-wireable: Vandertseen 2Cs and Celestion SL-700s. In the case of both of these speakers, each sounded much better bi-wired than single-wired with a good quality jumper cable. Designers, and our friend Redkiwi, clearly differ on whether bi-wiring is a good approach. But, in the case of these two speakers, using the bi-wire capability did allow for improved sonics in my system at the time.

There is a discussion of the "advantages" of bi-wiring on the Vandersteen web site that will tell you more about this than I could ever pretend to explain.

I replaced the Rhodium bars on my Proac Response 2S's with top of the line Cardas jumpers and the difference was astonishing.

I thought because the bars are made of Rhodium that the copper wire would not make a difference but it made a huge difference. Buy the Cardas jumpers it's a cheap tweak and you won't regret it.
