Using speaker cable as jumpers

Hello, everyone
I'm kind of new in this forums, and I guess I will ask something already spoken here a couple of years ago.
I have a pair of Martin Logan's Ascent bought 2nd hand but the jumpers they "bring are 2 pieces of thick copper (pretty much oxidated). I'm wondering if I can/should replace them by Kimber 8TC (which are the cables I'm using with them).

Any suggestions / opinions will be pretty much apreciated.

Thanks

First, I would clean the ones you have now. The jumpers will make a big difference and using what you are using for main cables is a safe choice. Silver is also a good choice for jumpers, much more affordable for them than for main cables. I just got some from Antipodes Audio and they are very good. I also use some 14 ga solid silver wire that works very well. I got it from Chris at VHA (?). All most anything is better than the jumpers that are usually supplied, I have several expensive older speakers that came with what looks like aluminum jumpers.
