Biwire posts; how to connect?


My B&W are biwireable, but I use standard 2-conductor cable. Should I leave the supplied brass jumpers in place and connect to the LF posts, or remove them and run the stripped speaker wire up through both LF and HF posts?

On the other hand, if you have bi-wireable speakers, but you just want to single wire, then you do what the other posters said. Keep the jumpers in place and connect the single speaker cable to the HF posts.

As I re-read your post, I'm not quite sure which alternative you were asking about, i.e. single wire to bi-wireable speakers or bi-wire to bi-wireable speakers.

Anyway, you have both answers now.
Thanks all. I'll leave the jumpers in place and wire to the HF posts.
Markphd, thanks for the elaborate explanation of biwiring. I do understand it and believe it works, but for the time being I'm just single wiring with my current amp (NAD c320).
Not to beat a dead horse, but if someone can explain why it is better to use jumpers instead of just running the bare wire all the way through to both posts, I would be interested to hear it. Not so much for arguments sake, but I am sincerely curious. I have little to no electronic background, but it seems like a no-brainer.
Some speaker manufacturers use high quality jumpers between the high and low freq. posts, others skimp there. If the jumpers are chintzy- your sound will suffer and you would be better served by making the connection with stripped speaker cable.
I'm not sure which B&Ws you have, but I'd get a more powerful amp. I believe yours is 50 wpc. I'd stay away from Adcom with those speakers.
