Question about Bi-Wiring

My speakers, Martin Logan Motion 40's, are bi-wire capable.

But I have not tried to bi-wire them just yet.

I was wondering, if I were to get better jumper cables to replace the default metal plate jumpers that came with the speakers, would that accomplish the same results as actually bi-wiring the speakers

Or

Should I just go straight to actually bi-wiring?

Thanks

This is very funny. How would someone, anyone, would get advice from a Sherlock Holmes with lamp cord as speaker cables in the profile picture? 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

It depends on the amp. If your amp has dual taps (like mine), or if you are bi-amping, then to speaker cable runs. If not, there bi-wire speaker cables already made and available from most cable manufacturers that have two leads on the amp side, and four on the speaker side

Sherlock:

Have you A/B’ed you cables against lamp cord? 

Glad you asked. I knew you would ask that question. You folks always ask that question. The answer is YES. I always do A/Bs, and always double blind, with my neighbors as third party. As a matter of fact, I just did an ABX yesterday. I nailed it ten out of ten. I was trying to determine whether I can really distinguish between Luciano Pavarotti and Michael Jackson, or weather brain was playing tricks to me 🙄
