Free Tip for Jumpers

If you have already replaced the stock jumpers on your bi wire speakers I found this to be a nice boost in sound quality. It was a Nordost section of Music Direct, FYI.

Enjoy!

Diagonal Bi-Wire

For those looking for maximum performance from their bi-wire speakers, Nordost has a recommendation. Connect your speaker wire to the speaker as follows: Red lead to the Red midrange/bass post, Black lead to the Black tweeter post. Then insert the Norse Jumpers as you normally would, sit back and hold on to your socks. The effect is astounding, with greater focus, detail and less haze and grain. We don't really understand how it works, but it does so try it for yourself!

I have biwire (4 x 13 AWG) OCC copper speaker cables and a pair of Spendor SP2/3R2 biwirable speakers. I have tried all the possible permutations (except for high quality, pricey jumpers) and my preferred method of connecting the speakers is as follows:

- at the red speaker terminals: tie together two 13 AWG cables and connect them to the midbass terminal, then use a stock gold plated metal jumper plate to connect the midbass and tweeter terminale

- at the black speaker terminals: ditch the stock plate and do a normal biwire (one 13 AWG cable to midbass and one to tweeter

I haven’t tried the above solution but with the colors reversed, maybe biwiring the red terminals instead would have resulted in a somewhat different sound?!
