Separating BiWire Cables

I have a pair of Jena Labs shotgun biwire spkr cables, with 2 terminations on amp end, 4 on spkr end for each cable.

I now have new speakers which do not accept biwire. Can I use just 2 of 4 terminations on each speaker end and still get full range sound, or would I only be getting treble/midrange or bass?

Thank you.

Don't, sell them and buy new cables of low gauge size at Home Depot and do your own terminations. Don't buy into hi-end cable nonsense. Hey, $25 of new cable will convert you, forever.

It hasn't converted me. I tried, I hoped, but nope.

If the binding posts have large holes you may be able to fit the banana plugs into them. Be careful. If not you could possibly remove one set of bananas and insert the bare wire into the binding post. The downside of this of course is if in the future you decide to sell the cables it may reduce their value somewhat. I would look into having them re- terminated.
