Bi-wires links for speakers ?


I heve the Proac Studio 140MKII single wire connected to my Mcintosh system with Tellurium Q Ultra Black speakers cables ,my speakers have the standard metal strip jumpers which came with the speakers and I am considering to replace it with the Tellurium Ultra black Bi-wire cables links which are not cheap at all.
Is it worth it ? Do I get sound improvement by replacing standard jumpers with hi-end Bi-wire links?

Thanks kijanki !

I will seriously consider the Audioquest 4" jumpers if the home demo of the Tellurium Ultra Black bi-wire links fail to upgrade the sound in my system.
Tellurium cables are superb , it will be an intersting demo .
My McIntosh amp doesn’t have bi-wire capability and I honestly think that bi-wiring is not more than a voodoo practice (bi-amplifying is another story).
My speakers cables and interconnects are Tellurium Ultra black series which are very expensive but I got the luck to buy less than half price used ones from my dealer and I think if the bi-wire links will be the same as my other cables it will improve the sound but your comments above made me to reconsider the decision of buying them ,It’s better to take pair for demo at my home from my dealer and check this carefully before purchasing.
So many devided opinions :(

I will take a pare of Tellurium Ultra black Bi-wire cables links/jumpers from my dealer for home demo over weekend .I do believe that some kind of difference will happen but I don’t what exactly...
Personally I DO NOT believe that bi-wiring can make any difference if someone really wants to improve the sound he should bi-amplifying ; more power=more control or just upgrading the ampflication (single wiring),But I do suspect that the standard stock jumpers provided with the speakers might degrade the sound so replacing them Should at least match quality of speaker cable.

Hi
I borrowed the Tellurium Ultra Black bi-wire links cables from my dealer took out
the standard metal strip jumpers which came with the speakers and I couldn't believe my ears : the soundstage suddenly became huge the speakers completely disappeared !
There is a substantial boost in the bass much more massive, deaper and tight.
The little bit brightness I had gone completely all is more natural and calm, 
Further more my system became more detailed and accurate. 
I really don't know what this company is doing with its cables but it's superb.

This links are certainly not going back to
my dealer !
It is a must to get rid of cheap jumpers supplied with speakers they do degrade the sound.
Most of the high end amplifiers do not have bi-wiring option and that’s saying something about the questionable reliability of bi-wiring method, Personally I think it’s not more than a voodoo thing.
The best is bi-amplifying with completely separate set of amps and cables unfortunately this method is expensive.
Yes it’s really amazing I never would believe if I didn’t try it myself.

My 2 lessons here :

1. Throw away immediately the biwiring standard terminals supply with the speakers and get descent Bi-wire cables links.
2. It is very important to have synergy between cables the most easy way to achieve it is by using the same brand and level/series for all the cables in your system  including the bi-wire links should be at least match quality of speaker cable.
My dealer was suprise too from this huge impact I really didn’t execpt it at all neither do him but that’s what happened.maybe the jumpers supplied with the speakers are very poor quality, or maybe because all my cables now are from the same brand  and the same series this allowing better signal transmission from the amplification to the speakers . I really don’t know what happened.
Yes it does get worse once switching back to the stock links, I suspect they’re crap.I was considering an upgrade to higher level Proac speakers but the improvement was such huge that I am more than happy to stay with my current 140 MKII speakers.
Glad that you experienced improvement too, that show you how cables  are very important factor at our system chain. 
After 2 weeks burn in period  of my new links I can notice that the integration between the drivers and the twitter is superb. Dynamics, agility and transparency are much better.

Unfortunately it's  the same with power chord cables,  you are buying expensive gear and manufacturers is using the very basic cheap stock power chord cables.it's really a shame.
