Snell Type K loudspeaker ?

I picked up a pair of Snell Ks and have what is probably a stupid question. The speakers have two sets of binding posts making it possible to biwire. One of the speakers has a piece of heavy copper wire twisted like a pretzel through both sets of posts, while the other doesn't. Is this some type of homemade jumper? I have a picture but don't know how to post it here.

"Is this some type of homemade jumper"?

Yes. You can either remove this jumper and bi-wire the speakers or buy any number of jumper plates/wires and single wire them.

Cardas has both:

One way or the other. Jumpers on BOTH speakers or no jumpers on BOTH speakers. You can always use short pieces of wire or even a paper clip for temporary jumpers. Just make sure you connect the (2) RED posts together and the (2) BLACK posts together.

Here's a picture and info:
