Jorma no.3 cut a small piece and make jumpers


Hi all, I have bought single Jorma no. 3 speaker cables and I want cut a small piece to make jumpers out of them for my bi-wired speakers. I want to use crimping spades. Is this even possible or will the wire inside be too minimal? and is it bad to cut the existing factory terminated plugs? Want to use Oyaide spades to reterminate, would you do this or keep everything original and look for a different solution? Thanks for your opinion..

Apart from removing resale value, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with what you are proposing. If possible, omit the plugs altogether and clamp the bare wire in the posts.
One alternative is solder both high and low internal wires onto one set of speaker blinding posts to eliminate the need of jumpers.
@imhififan not a bad idea at all, I use Tannoy dmt II’s and I recall those are wired internally using van den Hul scs, happen to have a piece of scs estimate 18 awg, made 4 super short pieces from that wire just now, should blend right in like that. Gonna try this solution for a while, thanks for this helpful hint, cheers..have a very nice day!!
Depending on the geometry of what's inside those cables, you may not be able to reterminate them.  Just buy some jumpers.  I wouldn't touch them, but at least ask the factory.  I can't believe that anyone who recommended cutting them has first-hand experience with those particular cables.  
imhififan  Yes, you have it right.  I've done that with numerous speakers I've crossover component and wire upgraded internally.

noromance  I think you have it right also, I see no reason to not simply use the bare wire through the posts (if possible).  Done it numerous times to good affect.
