Speaker Jumpers
On another thread ( can't recall which one ) someone told another person to not bother bi-wiring or bi-amping BUT to get rid of the jumpers on his terminals. Anyone know why you shouldn't use them ?

Thanks. So if I'm currently using bananas on my bottom two terminals, how do I jump the top terminals? And also are the factory jumpers on my speakers considered "cheap".Sony STRDA-5000ES

You replace the stock (cheap) jumpers with new ones made of high quality speaker cable. You run the new jumpers just like the stock ones, from the bottom posts to the top posts. Use spades on the jumpers if you use bananas for your speaker cable or bananas on the jumpers if you use spades on your speaker cable.Political Correctness'.........defined

Al, this is one of the more bizarre of the old audiophiles' tales which continue to float around. Speaker manufacturers who spend a lot of time and money designing and developing a good product don't then sabotage their own speakers by using a "cheap" connector which "sounds bad". Any reasonably conductive piece of metal has no discernible effect over the 2-3" involved.
