OK... thanks to an old post Sid did (thanks Sid) I may have it.
Here's a copy of the text since it is now in a different post on a different page.
I have attached a graphic in an attempt to show why adding jumpers back to a bi-wire arrangement is not a disaster.
1 shows an amp double wired to a speaker with one pair of terminals. No one would say this is a bad or damaging arrangement. Many do this if they feel their wire is a bit on the light side and do not want to use heavier gauge wire for whatever reason.
2 shows the same double wire arrangement to a speaker with two pairs of posts with the jumper in place. The presence of the jumper makes the two pairs of posts effectively act like one pair from a circuit standpoint.
3 shows the same as above except one of each of the leads has been moved from the lower to the upper post. Again the use of the jumper effectively turns the two pairs of posts in to one pair.
From a circuit analysis standpoint the wiring depicted in 1, 2, and 3 are identical.
4 depicts true bi-wiring. Note that the only difference between 3 and 4 is that the jumper has been removed.
Bottom line you can add the jumper to a bi-wire arrangement, and no boom will occur you are no longer bi-wiring, you are just double wiring, but no boom
EDIT: BTW, I am color blind, so if a green wire or two made it into the attachment, just pretend they are red...More later,

Good job, Tour.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Thanks for the write up Tour. I'll have to check it out in more detail when I get home to my cable modem where flipping pages isn't a 5 minute ordeal (being on the road is a PAIN in the A$$!!!!!)
None of the methods look like anything that I've ever tried, except a single wire from each terminal to one set of posts, with a jumper cable in place of the plate.
I know it's a debatable thing, but if I don't like the sound of method number 4, I'd go back to a single set of posts being connected, with the plates connecting to the top set of posts on the speaker. Leaving all 4 ends connected and adding the plate back into the mix wouldn't be doing anything to get the sound back to how it was before, (if I found that preferable). I'd have to disconnect one set of the ends to go back to "the way it was before."
Y'all have a good day. I'm watching the news before I catch my flight back home where a lady looks PISSED to be talking. It looks as if she's passing stones. News people are funny to watch sometimes........:)comment comment comment comment. bitchy.
