Have been biwiring my speakers for last year or so.
New speaker wire arrives tomorrow and im realizing that I lost the metal plates that came with my speakers.
Ive learned alot about HIFI in last year (with a ton of help from this community) and today Ive learned that the metal plates that come with the speakers are terrible.
Once i realized this i quickly ordered a cheap pair of banana plug>spade wire to use in place of the metal plate.
Of course AQ makes a version of this connector that costs 100"s of dollars.
I will assume that it falls into the cable debate where some feel expensive cables matter and some dont?
So thoughts on speaker jumpers?
Any recommendations on what to buy or just go with these $20 Amazon cables that I would think must be a better choice than the metal plate.
Did the cables you order not come in biwireable configuration? Another solution would be to just cut a piece or speaker cable and make up some jumpers yourself…. Audioquest slip 14-2 is like $2/foot and available on audio advisor and prob most audioquest dealers.
I was bi-wiring my speakers until about a year ago, and decided to try some Synergistic Research speaker cables with their jumpers
SR recommends using their jumpers instead of bi-wiring. The fact they recommend their jumpers over buying another pair of speaker cables, and making more money, lead me to believe this method was superior. Upon listening to them, I was not inclined to even try bi-wiring with an identical pair of speaker cables, the result exceeded my expectations.
I wonder if anyone has tried connecting one of the speaker leads to the tweeter/mid plus terminal and the other one to the bass minus terminal but still using the jumpers as shown?
