Most veteran audiophiles are well aware that properly bi-wiring [this can be a discrete shotgun, with separate runs to woofer and tweeter posts; or it can be a specially-designed internal bi-wire model] gets the most out of the speaker.
Incidentally, when I reviewed the MIT Magnum M3.3bw, it was used extensively on Totem's The One.
However, many of my readers and target audience do not have such cables. Thus, whenever I review bi-wireable speakers, I cover the "single wire + jumper" permutations. In the case of the Element Ember and Fire, quite clearly, they perform more accurately when the speaker cable goes first to the woofer posts.
When I reviewed the Arro, Model 1 Signature, Hawk, The One, Forest, and Mani-2 Signature, these non-Element series models all preferred the single-wire going first to the tweeter post.
Did you play around with bi-wire permutations on the Shaman?
