Bi wiring v single run w jumpers


Back when I worked in the audio biz speakers had one set of terminals. Now most have two sets for bi amping or biwiring Last I checked most people do not bi amp and not many bi wire. Also jumpers all sound different and if you use the top terminals it sounds different then the bottom. Also is the top running the tweetrer or the mid and tweeter? That is another variable HATE IT.

I have three choices here. The speaker really does not matter as I want to be consistant when compaing these 3 sets of speakers.

1) Analysis plus Oval 9 with jumpers
2) Analysis plus Oval 9 with the terminals inside the speaker between the high and low connected operates like a normal 2 terminal speaker
3) Analysis plus Oval 12 bi wire.
Thoughts?? Thanks

Sorry, Geph00078, but if you ask four audiophiles their thoughts on these 3 options, you will get 1,324,991.6666 different answers ;-) My thought is that if possible, ask the speaker manufacturer what they recommend for each pair of speakers and use that for each one. They will not all be connected the same way, but w a little luck, you will get each speaker optimized.
My guess is that Michael was envisioning that there would be an odd number of half-baked answers, plus one answer that is 1/6th baked.
Almost, Al...It's the audiophiles that are half-baked ;-)
