VR-4jr / How to wire?

To VR-4jr owners:What is the best way to biwire the Von Schweikert VR-4jr speakers if the biwire is terminated at one end which will be connected to the amplifier?
The reccommended way is to connect the wires to both pairs of spades on the bottum of the bass unit(one pair for the bass unit and one pair for the midrange/tweeter unit) while leaving the data link in place.
Would it be better to take out the data link and connect one part of the biwire directly to the posts on the midrange/tweeter unit while leaving the other part of the biwire connected to the bottum posts of the bass unit like it is reccommended with shotgun biwire? Thanks

Tony,

When you shotgun as described do you remove the jumper plates? Thanks,

I like shotgun biwire( two speaker cables to each speaker...one to the MT and one to the bass) Also I like to mix and match...experiment around...maybe copper to one and silver plated or silver to the other. These speakers repond well to biwire and bi-amp. You read some people poopooing biwire...but seems to work for me. Also experiemented with biwire jumpers from each cabinet along with shotguns. Jury is still out as to whether this is worth it. Everyones system is different and you just have to try stuff untill you are happy....ooops we are never happy. lol
