HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES

I use much higher quality jumpers than speaker wire. And it sounds better than the stock jumpers that came with my Tannoy Turnberrys.

I have also tried every jumper configuration and run speaker wire to the high frequency side first. There’s just more musical content there. But my system does not suffer from lack of low end...and I don’t run subs, so try everything. Every system is different...even the same system in a different room may require a different approach.

High quality jumpers for sure. I use Walker Silver Jumpers. Always connect main speaker wires to the woofer LF first then jump to HF from there. LF needs more power first then HF.  At least that’s what my understanding.

If the jumper cables are well built (as in 99% of HiFi speakers), absolutely nothing! they are NOT critical at all.

You hear a difference, there important.Made my own this summer using aeco banana plugs and neotech 12 gauge teflon wire...i tried mundorf 14 g/s and was detailed,sweet.The stranded neotech won out over solid... just a tad smoother i guess.

My Tannoy manual suggests wiring to the HF side first...but had to try all options and they were right. It is a small difference but the section that gets wired first sees a little more presence in my system at least.
