Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR..

I am researching maybe buying two pairs of used 'high end' speaker jumper cables.

My 1990's floor standing tower speakers are Definitive Technology BP2000's.
Each is bipolar so it has 2 woofers and 1 tweeter, both front and back.
Plus each speaker has a built-in 15", 300W sub-woofer.  They can shake the room! 

Main preferred jumper cable sound characteristics: detailed, warm and neutral.
Main music listened to in no order: rock, pop, folk, jazz, soundtracks and reggae.
Main format played: Vinyl - Stereo - 12" LPs and singles, plus 7" singles.

The maximum dream total budget for the used cables is say $1,000 - $2,000 (!)
Hey, it is a dream that maybe be worth auditioning....then again, if there is a used  or new cable that delivers for less great.  Most of my equipment is used 'high end.'

Please do you have any experience and recommendation(s)?  Thank you! :-)

I had bipolar speakers in the past. Lithium helped immensely. 😜

"Warm" jumpers to ...tweeters?   You might want to  focus on the frequencies those jumpers are carrying.

I also prefer jumpers to be same as main speaker cables...

Seriously can a few inches of jumper cable really make a difference?

The suggestion of using more of the same speaker cable is pure logic seeing as you use metres of it before the speaker….

 

By introducing different jumpers, aren’t you just introducing some colouration to the sound, nothing more?

If your musical source has not made it to the speaker inputs, it will not come from anywhere else!


Surely it’s impossible to put more detail ‘in’ than originally there was before?

 

The connections/security and quality of the spades or banana plugs is the real issue, not the wires l think!

 

Thats my logic!

 

The so called ‘can of worms’ opens up……
