...are not in the same arena as the usual mix-and-match question (which I differ with, anyway). If this were so, folks should look inside their loudspeaker enclosures more often... my 2 cents
Follow Ups:
I'm not sure what you're saying, but I am assuming it is not that the last couple of feet of speaker cable do not affect the sound...You'll see looking back, I mention that mixing can "work" just fine.
Some folks have easy access to jumpers (including moi).
Best sound so far IMS is through-wired, no "jumpers" at all.
YMMV, of course.
Best regards,

You are correct, I am not saying that the last couple of feet do not matter. What's used as jumpers is very important. The issue is that the last couple of feet of wire (internal wiring) is more often than not what is connected as speaker cable.My point is that a set of bi-wire jumpers have more in common with the loudspeaker's internal wiring than whatever the run of speaker cable that's connected "upstream". The sonic signature of the jumpers vs. either the speaker cable run or the internal wiring is pretty much moot, IMHO. It may be very well that a differing set of bi-wire jumpers do better than a matched set.
On the other hand, if one wishes to go with a same make/model jumper, that's fine. In some cases that may be what sounds best. I'm simply saying that there is no "problem" with a mix and match jumper cable choice, IMHO. Cheers :-)
