Biwiring is a nice upgrade, as is replacing all the jumpers (XOs and speakers) with high quality jumpers
I am now using my 3.5Rs bass panels only with dynamic speakers out front.

Biwiring is good for those producing/selling cables. Why buying overpriced jumpers that introduce even more joints? Better to reduce the numbers of joints to a minimum, there are quite a few in these speakers/outboard crossover. Solder where possible, far cheaper too. Going for a suitable active crossover replacing the outboard crossover and use four channels of amplification is really an upgrade.
Magnepan uses a number of pot metal jumpers on the XO and the speakers
If using the OEM XO it's worth while to upgrade those jumpers
Magnepan designed the XOs so they could be biwired or biamped
To say biwiring is a waste makes no sense. I use Clear Day Pure Silver Cables, the improvement is immediate
