Bi Wire Tweak

A friend told me when I biwire to leave only the jumpers in place on the negative posts. I did this and the improvement in sound is fantastic. Why should this work ? My speakers are Sonus Faber EA2's and my cables are Wireworld Gold Eclipse III biwire. A cheap piece of brass jumper made a great difference. Why ?

According to my analysis, any biwire improvement is due to the returns being separated, so it might make sense to leave the jumper on the High terminals only. That is oposite to what you describe. (I assume that the crossover is implemented on the High side of the drivers. It could be done the other way around).

If you want to investigate further, try long runs of #18 speaker wires, and you might hear something.
