Bi-wires links for speakers ?


I heve the Proac Studio 140MKII single wire connected to my Mcintosh system with Tellurium Q Ultra Black speakers cables ,my speakers have the standard metal strip jumpers which came with the speakers and I am considering to replace it with the Tellurium Ultra black Bi-wire cables links which are not cheap at all.
Is it worth it ? Do I get sound improvement by replacing standard jumpers with hi-end Bi-wire links?

1. Throw away immediately the biwiring standard terminals supply with the speakers and get descent Bi-wire cables links.

I don't know that I would recommend this.
Someday you may want to sell those speakers.

@OP-It seems like you have your mind made up. Why bother posting this thread?

How do you figure? He started a thread asking if anyone had heard a difference by replacing the stock jumpers that come with the speakers with quality aftermarket jumpers. He got a couple responses to his original question. Granted, he got more responses touting bi-wiring, which is NOT what he was asking about.

I understand that is how things go on these forums. Folks come here asking about their amplifier, and others will recommend that they get new speakers instead. That doesn't mean that his original question was worthless, or went unanswered.

He asked a direct question, filtered out all of the off-topic answers, then tried on his own, and he is happy with the change in sound in his system.
That would seem to be what the forums are for.
@OP. Still a skeptic.  That's way beyond anything I heard from trying out bi-wiring or passive bi-amping (with the same or similar amps).

But, it's been a long time since I monkeyed with it and with lesser gear, then.  And I have no reason to believe you are clinically delusional or making it up, so, I am going to try it, too, at least with a couple of the stock bar jumpers, for what little effort it will require.  It will be with stranded 12 gauge OFC with bare ends.  One might argue that whatever would make the stock bar jumpers so awful should be the same or similar to what should happen in all but perhaps the "best" spades or bananas (heck, even the binding posts on either end), if only on a slightly large scale.

Odd though, which manufacturers opt to use the bar jumpers and even on low-to-mid-five figure speakers...where, seemingly, attention was given to much less obvious or visible details, including internal wiring.

Awesome though, at least for you and your setup, you found a minor tweak that made a difference and that you are happy with!



My dealer was suprise too from this huge impact I really didn’t execpt it at all neither do him but that’s what happened.maybe the jumpers supplied with the speakers are very poor quality, or maybe because all my cables now are from the same brand  and the same series this allowing better signal transmission from the amplification to the speakers . I really don’t know what happened.
Well.  Tried it...with 12 gauge stranded OFC with bare ends.  Unscientifically.  No double-blind instantaneous switching.

1.B&W 602s3. In a sub-optimal setting with mediocre gear.  I could discern zero difference, positive or negative.

2.Canton VR5 DC.  Eh.  Maybe a tiny difference in clarity in mids.  Well within the margin of error in and between my ears and likely within any difference that could be attributed to changes in lunar or solar tidal forces on the ears in the time between listening or to a degree or two temperature change or an extra couple of minutes of warm-up on an already warmed up system or to placebo effect.

Just a quick switch and a fairly quick listen.  Was skeptical, but certainly hopeful.  No night and day difference for me.  Couldn't say it hurt or degraded anything, though.

Probably just my crap system and cloth ears....  Glad for others who find improvement with swapping out the jumper bars.
Wires, Wires, Wires!

Something so small that creates such a conundrum...
Reading Stereophile back when Sam Tellig was still on staff.
He made the (obviously jokingly) remark about speaker wires:
"Look inside your speakers and use the same wire. If it's good enough for the inside, it's good enough for the outside!"
Hahaha!!!
Fwiw, I use two runs, bi-wired, from my Krell to my Vandersteens, and IMO bi-wiring does sound better than single wiring. Ymmv.
