How do you connect your single wire and jumpers ?

On my Silverlines, the single wires are connected at the low, but on my Von Schweikerts the single wire was connected at the top. Each way was according to the manufacturer's recommendation.

It seems to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Why not try it both ways and choose the one that sounds best to you?
I can definitely discern the difference on my Silverlines when the single run is connected to the top versus when it's connected to the bottom, due to the quality of bass response that results.

I could not hear much difference on the Von Schweikerts.

I have also found on the Silverlines that it's important that the jumpers be the same wire as the single run. If not, the differences are magnified (including when using the Silverline jumper plates, which are easily bettered).

Grisselham, perhaps you'll receive some relevant advice from owners of your speakers if you mention the model.
I connect the single wire first (spades). Then I connect the jumpers (Z-banana type on the low posts and spades on the upper posts). I had the jumpers custom made in that configuration so I wouldn't have to sandwich the spades.

It works for me. It may or may not work for others.
