Single ended speaker cables or Shot gun config?

I would like to hear the opinions from the forum regarding using a high-end single ended speaker to my speakers and then use two of that companies matching jumpers. My speakers have three speaker terminals, bass, mid and highs. They came with bridging straps but I prefer proper jumpers. So that is option one. Option 2 is to buy the same company's speaker cable but in a shot gun formation at the speaker end. So single ended at the amp end and then has two red cables and two black at the speaker end. In this formation I would still need one set of jumpers.

What do you guys recommend in my situation. I sort of fee if I go the shot gun bi wire config I'm splitting the cables in two at the speaker end as opposed to running one solid speaker cable to one of the terminals and using matching jumpers.

Opinions??

Thanks in advance

I think it’s a bit of a dice roll honestly. More cables = lower resistance but more capacitance, or something like that.

Whatever you chose to do, keep it affordable because the end result is not going to be worth as much as your speakers. :)

Now, if you were going to bi-amp... passively or actively that would be another story.
