Biwire jumpers as speaker cables?


Assuming that I have monoblocks for power amps and they can be placed fairly close to speakers, can biwire jumpers be used as speaker cables?

Thx for your opinions.

I have a couple of monoblocks coming in by the end of the week. If I place them back side facing speakers' backs, 6 in jumper would make it, according to measurements. I am not sure if I would have difficulty with ic and pc, though.

At this point. I don't think vibration would be an issue. Of course. I would know when music plays...
Thanks for the encouragement.

I am thinking of monoblocks for reasons like better channel separation, (hopefully) better dynamic, etc. But then many audiophiles subscribe to the Long IC/Short SC scheme, and I think, why not take it a bit to the limit? Jumpers are probably the shortest commercially available speaker wires. Besides, this scheme may represent an opportunity to have expensive cables in more reachable prices, e.g. JPS Aluminata, $500 for jumnpers vs. $6600 for the cables.
Finally, the Cary 500mb have arrived (Fedex was not as helpful as it used to be...) And yes, I can get them really close to my speakers! The binding posts on the Cary are fairly far apart though, so 6 in may be too tight. I think 8 in jumpers would work better. Now I have to get some jumpers to check it out (plus dealing with various setup issues...) Once I get the jumpers, I'll try to post some pix.
