Hi,  I  need your opinion and suggestions for a good sounding  biwire spkr jumper (preferably Copper ) to replace the stock spkr jumper plate .
My budget is for around 200$ /one set .
Thanks in advance

I'll agree that the Bolder Cable Nitro Jumpers would fit your bill perfectly.

Make some good ones yourself. It's very easy and good spades(20 dollars for 8) can be had from Luminous audio or a number of other places.  You can get  DH labs cable directly from them for about 4.50 a foot.  Or go down to the hardware store and get some inexpensive cable that's at least 16 gauge and use bare ends. If you do the latter be sure to tin the ends so you don't get a short.

Simon,

You don't mention the speaker cables you're presently using. Do you have a extra 5" of slack? Consider snipping off a piece and making jumpers that are sonically consistent with what you already have. Terminate with spades, banannas, bare... however you choose. If you like your present speaker cables, you avoid any potential lack of sonic difference. Though that could be a good or a bad thing.

As an aside, I've found that where you terminate the speaker cables, which terminal you jumper to, will change your subjective ascessment. I generally prefer to wire the speaker cables to the 'tweeter' terminals, and jumper from the tweeter terminals to the woofer terminals. YMMV.

You could try these for a small investment.  I used these on Spica TC-60's to good effect.  They are flimsy, but they work.  From the Mapleshade web site:


We also offer custom Bi-Wire Jumpers.  For bi-wire speakers, we offer a set of 4 copper ribbon jumpers for $20 that are a remarkable upgrade over the standard bad-sounding brass plates.  Because our jumpers are custom cut to your specs, they can't be ordered through our automated system. Before ordering this item, please measure the distance between your speaker's upper and lower binding posts (centerhole  to centerhole). Then, call 1-888-CD-MAPLE.

Simon...

Try to make your own jumpers with the same cable you are using now. They are easy to built and if you don't want to ( for any reason) then try some from a reputable company, but they don't has to be expensive.

I would suggest trying the Star Sound Technologies jumpers - $179.00

It's a copper cable with a Micro-Bearing Steel sleeve and copper spades. A perfect match to the Sonoran Plateau speaker cables.
