RE: Speaker Jumpers?

Posted by Duster on May 9, 2017 at 17:45:32:
Good call, Awe-d-o-file. While I have no experience of a Harbeth loudspeaker, but I bet their designs are best served by the use of bi-wire cables vs. jumpers. A jumper no matter how good is an adapter, with all the caveats of an adapter. IMO, it's almost a disservice to offer bi-wire capable binding posts with brass straps as default. It's a very weak link in the signal chain, and unacceptable to many audiophiles after discovering the benefit of bi-wiring.
