I was just researching this on the web last night. I found the argument made by
electrical engineers and some speaker designer the most convincing; they basically claim that the contact point at the provided jumper measures an extremely low resistance compared to the xft of cable and mostly speaker, and the 3in long body of the jumper measures even less. They conclude by saying that trying to improve a speaker performance by changing jumpers is a little bit like trying to improve the aerodynamics of a turtle. I prefer the manufacturer’s jumpers as they look neater than my 3in/10awg ofc copper conductors.
