2 runs of wires or 1 run w/ jumpers


I am considering trying Anti Cables level 3 7' speaker wires. Am I better off using 1 set of wires with jumpers or running 2 sets of 7' wires?

I found the opposite to Czarivey, but that does not make their suggestion wrong.

It does vary from one case to another and there is not one solution for every possible cable/speaker combination

In my case, I found using quality all-copper bananas on the links provided better micro detail and better imaging, but that is with my cable/speaker combo.

Better still, use quality spades, provided you have quality terminals like those from Cardas - they clamp extremely well

Checkout Furez products at Douglas Connection - they are very good.

Also - DO NOT use those little metal links that are sometimes provided - unless they are very good copper/silver - try to use wire comparable to your speaker wire.

Best try it and see for yourself
On a related topic - has anyone found any benefits, i.e. when using a single cable + wire jumper links, of "diagonal wiring"?

i.e.
- the neutral of speaker cable is attached to the bass set of terminals
- the signal (or +ve)is connected to the mid/treble terminals
- or the other way around.

Thanks
