Question about Bi-Wire jumpers

Hi,

I recently bought a pair of Spendor SP100's. These speakers are tri-wireable. I have bi-wire cables and have them conected to the woofer and midrange terminals with the factory jumper plates from the midrange to the tweeter. I have read that there is a great improvement to be had if you replace these brass plates with a high quality jumper cable. I have been looking at jumper cables but a friend of mine who is a jeweler has offered to replicate the factory plates in pure silver at a nominal cost. Would this be an worthwile improvement over the brass plates or should just buy decent quality jumper cables?

The better plates are minimal sonic addition in line.
The majority of cable sound is in termination, so you may benfit from termination. Pure copper still sounds best to me.

Stealing a line from the old Sam T. --- "maybe you should try"; the 12 gauge copper magnetic or motor wind wire. You might like it.

And since we're on the topic, what's inside your cross overs, 16 gauge plain jane copper coils??? Solen or worse caps???

Audionervosa at it's finest.

You have to love a hobby that makes you nuts.
