Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables


Stupid question:

My speakers have dual binding posts, so they can be biwired. Want to try. Currently using single wire speakers with jumpers.

So instead of selling current speaker wire, and buying new biwire set, can I get a second set of single speaker wire, identical to what I have, and run them from my Amp to the second set of binding posts on my speakers? Of course, removing the jumpers. I think I have enough space on Amp to fit a second set of spades

Interesting concept Steve @williewonka I do have quality jumpers (Cardas Clear, soon to try Crystal Clear Magnum Opus), but you are saying crossing them ? So one jumper from High Frequency Red, to Low Frequency Black? The other one from HF Black to LF Red?
@hifiman5 

Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it. This is good news. Any downside?

My speakers are Revel F228be, and Amp is Ayre VX-5 Twenty 
Thanks everyone for your input!

I decided to order a single run of Crystal Clear Audio Magnum Opus speaker cables, plus the matching jumpers.

I will do the trick @williewonka suggested (Red speaker cable to HF speaker binding post, Black speaker cable to LF binding post).

When / If budget allows in the future, I will get s second speaker cable pair, and bi-wire then
@rosstoys  Yes, I sold them. They were pretty good, but I like to experiment with cables quite a bit, and upgraded to Synergistic Research Atmosphere X Euphoria (Level 3) cables. They work a bit better for me, but not by a large margin.

I'd say if get a good price on CCAC Magnum Opus, go for it!
