"Undo" biwiring?

If I have speakers with bi-wire terminals and only want to use single wire cables, is there any reason I can't desolder the wires from the low frequency posts and solder them to the high frequency posts or vice versa? Seems to make a lot more sense then adding expensive jumpers (which have made a difference in my experience), yet I have never seen this done or suggested. I would also need one less set of binding posts if I wanted to upgrade.

BTW I am talking about combing connections between internal wires on the inside of the cabinet, in case that wasn't clear...

Elizabeth, thanks.

kr4, not sure you understand what I'm asking and I don't understand your response. Use the same wires as jumpers instead of jumpers...?

Kernelbob, good jumpers have made significant improvements in my experience. Anyway, I do not want to turn this into a discussion of biwire vs. single wire, which has been done to death and always gets contentious, and I am not talking about a bi-amp situation.

Well, that's more complicated since I will need to acquire
additional "internal wire" to use as jumpers or
disconnect, shorten, and reconnect the internal runs. It's
far easier to combine the connections. It would also be
nice to recover a whole 4 piece set of WBT nextgen binding
posts I previously installed and use them elsewhere.
