Class D for a Tube Lover
While my experience with Class D is limited. I've owned some Bel Canto DACs and integrated amps. While really trying to love them due to small footprint, low power consumption, etc...It just didn't do it for me. I went back to tubes.The closest I'... 
Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more
At the beginning of my audio journey I had some Paradigm 100 v2, I think. I thought they were very good paired with a Parasound amp. They had a huge soundstage, imaging like crazy.I have since moved on through dozens of systems but for me at the t... 
Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!

Can I leave speaker jumpers in?
I guess I confused with the details.is it ok to leave jumpers in when using bi wired cables on bi wired speakers? 
Can I leave speaker jumpers in?
No, sorry. I will only be using one amp at a time. Each will have their own set of cables so I don’t have to pull out the amps and change cables each time, only change cables at the speaker.sorry I was unclear.
