Jumper Cables.

I own the B&W matrix 803 series II speakers and wanted to know what you use for jumpers on your speakers and what you have compared them to. I also want to know what terminals you run your speaker cables to, the high frequency cross-over or the low frequency cross-over first? Has anyone tried running one of the wires to the high frequency terminal and one to the low frequency terminal?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

While I also prefer bi-wire, the Cardas jumpers are very good. To my ear, it sounds noticeably better to run the speaker cable to the high-mid terminal and the jumpers from there to the bass.

Sugarbrie, why would you connect the wire to the tweeter? Wouldn't the bass need more power so better to get the power where it's needed most?

CDC...It is not an issue of power. There should be plenty of power regardless of how you hook them up. The highs are what you hear more than the bass. I want the cleanest signal powering the highs. If you choose a speaker cable for how it sounds, why color it with a jumper by hooking the speaker cable to the bass terminal?
