Replacing Jumpers = Bi-wiring??


On biwirable speakers, will replacing the jumpers with a quality cable give the same improvement in performance as biwiring? I am getting conflicting advice, and would appreciate any input you might have.
Thanks!

Yo Leafs, I'm a disappointed Leafs fan. Or should I say "the pretenders". Each year dawns and we pretend the leafs are going to do it. The leafs make all the right noises and they pretend they're going to do it. But they never do. And the dance goes on but there is no stanley cup contender in Toronto and they'll have to start the rebuild. And we pretend to believe them. Cheers, bluenose
Leafs why do the many high end speakers provide bi-wire design? Single wire designs with elaborate internal crossover designs can be excellent sounding speakers, the speaker manf has decided for you that $500 single cable is better than two $250 cables, just a different design philosophy. Both approaches can produce great speakers, no need to say one is absolutely better than another.

I accept both as valid solutions, with bi-wire designs you have a choice, let the customer do it his way.
The idea is not mine... from "Audioasylum" site. The basic idea is to connect all the GROUND sides of individual speakers in a loudspeaker to each other as close to the speaker's baskets as possible, with as short a group of wires as possible. (of course not both of pair of loudspeakers, just the 'speakers' inside one loudspeaker to each other, then the other group in the other loudspeaker separately.)
This is supposed to increase the probability that the whole system is time coherent. And works if system is single wired or bi-wired. For more "aye" sayers see "audioasylum" site and do a search.
Oh in addition, the normal return biwired wires and stuff is still there. The connecting wires can be small 20 gauge stuff
megasam Biwire set up is for people who want to BIamp a speaker.Bi amping offers great sonic benifit.Bi wire does not.
The other thing is many speaker MFG have put this on just to say they can biwire.They know it has no sonic benifit but its one of those things that mfg a has it so mfg b better have it or there could be a perception that he is not as current.
