Jumper cables for Dunlavy SC IV / Naim?

Many audiophiles report success using jumper cables to replace the connectors that generally come with bi-wireable speakers. Does anyone have any experience specifically with using jumper cables on the Dunlavy SC IV? Also, has anyone tried jumping the terminals on the SC IV using the same cable they're using as speaker wire (this was the manufacturer-recommended technique for a pair of Vandersteens I had previously)? Intuitively that would seem a sensible thing to do.

My IVs are being driven by Naim electronics and are connected via Naim wire (of course) so if anyone has experience with this gear it would be particularly useful. Would a non-Naim jumper work harmoniously with Naim cable (if so, which)? Has anyone simply stripped a long section at the end of Naim cable and attached it to both sets of posts on the SC IV to avoid using the supplied connecting plates?

Thanks,

Ker,
Any Naim dealer should be able to fix your cables for biwiring. The way it is done is to attach about a six inch addition to your exsisting cable. Where the addition meets the original cable it is soldered together with bananas (or whatever). The remaining end of the 6" piece has a pair of bananas fixed to it. You have basically "jumped" from terminal to terminal with the same wire. I believe you will be able to find much discussion of this over at Naim-Audio.com
