Internal bi wire v single run full range and jumpers??
Having been a fan Analysis Plus for many years I also like older AudioTruth /Audioquest stuff from the 90s. Seems richer and more full then the newer stuff.
Anyway, I have 8 foot pair of original (1st gen) Midnight full range and I took 6 inch of each and made jumpers Sounds very good for sure the equal of my yellow and black Oval 9 with Oval 9 jumpers . Cleaner and more focused with more separation Both good just different. I also have a pair of Audioquest Forest I just received which Internal Bi wired. My take is the Midnight sounds more "together". It makes me wonder if I should pull the ends off the Forest and make some Forest jumpers with full range run.
My only experience with true (double run bi wiring was two runs of Oval 9 and I just did not think it was worth it as it seemed more open (slightly) but seemed to lose some focus.
Years ago on Agon there was a discussion about bi amping and bi wiring and some guy claimed lots of guys do it. A little survey was done and low and behold very few bi amped and not many more bi wired.
My question is Internal bi wiring v single full range run with the same type of jumpers?
Want to drive your self over the edge?? Try swapping positive to the highs and neg to the lows OR neg to the highs and positive to the lows OR both to the highs Obviously with jumpers Holy crap 4 different sounds!!!! I think Audioquest and Nordost have white papers on this and why it changes No thanks. I drew the line at power supply fuses.

What you describe is diagonal wiring. Many at Axpona did the very same for reasons you describe.
