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?

Emilio, just an opinion: Avoid the plates (even silver), go with wire. A high quality wire will be a definite improvement over the stock plates, and I seriously doubt that replicating the stock plates in silver will offset the better transfer characteristics of wire (time delay, coherence, etc.).
