Any jumper suggestions for a VSA VR-4?


Has anyone tried using a jumper for your VR-4's, instead of biwiring?

I have ordered a pair of Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen III SE's, and would like some suggestions of what to use for a jumper between the bass and midrange/tweeter cabinets.

Any thoughts or recommendations, either for or against using a jumper rather than biwire, will be appreciated.

Congratulations. Rumor has it these are phenominal speakers. Although perhaps not the prettiest.

I would enthusiastically recommend Audience Au24 speaker cables for starter with 30 inch jumpers.

I'm becoming more convinced that bi-wiring is speaker cable dependent. The better the cable, the less effective bi-wiring becomes.

Bi-wiring is also a listener preference. If you do hear the affects of bi-wiring, sometimes it's not for the better.

Audience has a white paper of sorts on where one author says bi-wiring is actually bad even though at first it sounds better. It was interesting but I'm not quite convinced that is true.
