jumpers versus golden plates


Does anybody have experience with kicking out the golden plates connecting the (bi-wiring) terminals on speakers and put in jumpers instead? I was told that if you don't bi-amp or bi-wire and subsequently have the plates in place you are accepting a major sound deterioration. Jumpers would be the solution.I checked with Kimber Select and the jumpers are extraordinary expensive regarding their very short length....Opinions please?

Mapleshade makes a ribbon jumber that comes in about a 3-inch strip. You only need a small section touching each post. I believe a set of 4 is only $20.00. I have not tried wire jumpers but have obtained excellent results using the Mapleshade ribbons on first, PSB Stratus Golds, and now Silverline LaFolias. Jim
