Jumper Cables.

I own the B&W matrix 803 series II speakers and wanted to know what you use for jumpers on your speakers and what you have compared them to. I also want to know what terminals you run your speaker cables to, the high frequency cross-over or the low frequency cross-over first? Has anyone tried running one of the wires to the high frequency terminal and one to the low frequency terminal?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

If I were going to use jumpers, I would connect the speaker wire to the top tweeter terminal, and run the jumper to the bottom bass terminal. Use some high quality speaker wire, not the brass ones they come with. Manufactured jumpers are also available from AudioAdvisor, Mapleshades, and others.

But actually I would Biwire them and not use jumpers, which is what I think you are referring to in your last sentence.

CDC...It is not an issue of power. There should be plenty of power regardless of how you hook them up. The highs are what you hear more than the bass. I want the cleanest signal powering the highs. If you choose a speaker cable for how it sounds, why color it with a jumper by hooking the speaker cable to the bass terminal?
