Bi Wire vs Speaker Jumpers


I have B&W 802 speakers and would appreciate thoughts on bi wiring them vs using jumpers.  I will be using Krell electronics with them.  Thanks in advance for your input.

My Legacy Audio Signature II speakers seem to sound MUCH better single-wired than bi-wired(Krell power amp).  Unfortunately, I only found that out after running them bi-wired for decades because I just ASSUMED they would sound better that way.  I was running with Morrow Audio SP-2 for the high frequency terminals, with an old, heavy stranded Esoteric Audio stranded cables for the low frequency terminals. 

It was only when I bought a set of the Cerious Technology Graphene Extreme cables that I happened to go with the single-wire run and inserted the terminal jumpers.  Whoa, it was an immediate improvement, with much more, deeper, and better bass.  I cannot explain why that would be the case, but it is.  Perhaps something to do with the crossovers or internal wiring configuration.
