Hey, you left one out. What does negative to bass, positive to treble do for you?
What do the jumpers consist of, and what are you using from the amp?

hi Ironwoodsi think you'll find that this works with any sort of gear. i'm using dnm cables and short lengths of Audioquest multistrand cable as jumpers. ES11's don't have binding posts, so i've got some gold-plated binding post adapters in the back.
as for what happens when i swap negative to bass, positive to treble, well there's a bit more bass and the treble recedes a bit, the sound stage broadens and the pace of the music relaxes -- there's less congestion in the treble. actually, that's the way i prefer it with this gear.
it's a simple experiment, i'd be interested to know if other people experience similar results.
What is the reasoning behind, as to why the jumpers should differ from the main cables? I know most OEM's supply very thin strips of unshielded copper.
the bi-wireable version of the Epos ES11 was not made with binding posts. there are four holes for banana plugs in the back, so there is nothing to which strips of copper could be attached. I have inserted binding post adapters into the banana plug holes so that i don't have to bi-wire.I don't want to cut up my DNM cable, so i am using spare pieces of audioquest cable. In any case, i have heard that people sometimes get mechanical vibration or RF interference from the strips of copper. short lengths of shielded cable might alleviate that problem.
cheers
