HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES

When using jumper cables instead of biwire speaker cables, do the jumpers need to be as good a quality or better than the actual quality of the  speaker wires? The jumpers need to be 6” to 9” long. Also is it better to hook the main speaker wires to the low end and then run the jumpers to the high end or visa versa?

I don't think they are critical as much as the connectors.

Use soft-metal spades or tight fitting bananas.  Avoid rhodium or gold over brass.  The softer the spade the tighter a grip yo are going to get.  The WBT spring loaded spades are highly underrated IMHO.
