If you are asking if it's ok to use speaker wire in place of the metal jumper bars, the answer is yes. In fact, it's better than the bars.Political Correctness'.........defined

no,what i am asking is in the process of using wire instead of the plate.is it safe to draw the wire from the avr through both the upper and lower posts?because most examples ive seen say draw the jumper through both posts then use banana plugs for the main connection.and what if you cant draw it through both would it be safe to do the same but draw bare wire through along with the jumper wire insread of bananas?i just dont want to short my speakers or receiver.

Yeah, I wouldn't have bare wire exposed anywhere.....that's simply asking for trouble and another damn good reason to use banana plugs and/or spades.Political Correctness'.........defined

Fud, stripping enough of the speaker wire so that it would reach through both the upper and lower terminals would be safe if you were very careful to not leave a loose strand that could touch the other conductor. The more basic point, however, would be that there's no technologically sensible reason to do so. For the distance of 2-3" covered by the connecting strips, what metal is used for the connection can have no audible significance. Manufacturers certainly wouldn't sabotage their speakers by supplying a connection that would somehow harm their performance. Relax.

Yes, but Mapleshade is a sort of Jekyll and Hyde operation. They produce many fine records, then on the audio "products" side of the business they peddle the most absurd ripoffs for gullible audiophiles. Their claims have no factual support.

On the other hand, they do let you try the product, and return it for a full refund if it does not work. Personally, I have bought a few CDs, and they are immaculately recorded, and sound great, but I have not really liked any of them. However, their speaker cables, digital and analog ICs, and CD/DVD cleaning and polishing products have worked great.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

i eventually found and put back on the jumpers and ran the wires through the low posts.bi-amped they were tighter and more energetic.but no real change in the overall sound.
