Bi-wire Jumpers
Posted by: u5227470736789524 on 08 March 2003
I have a pair of Linaeum LFX/C (corian) speakers which I like to connect from time to time. They were purchased in'94 to replace my Spica TC-50, currently forum popular, with reason.
The Linaeums offer 2 pair binding posts, with spade connection the only possibility (no bananas, no bare wire possible). The jumpers supplied with the speakers are pretty cheesy flat brass connectors. With prior equipment, I was using Wireworld speaker cables and Wireworld jumpers.
The question .... in using NACA5, not real pliable in use anyway and with such a short distance requiring spades on each end, are there exceptable alternatives anyone can suggest ?
note - this is not meant as a thread for the philisophical (or sophamoric) debate of "bi-wiring", the reality is there are two sets of binding posts (manufacture's choice, not mine), what are reasonable alternatives as jumpers, when using NACA5.
Thanks for any help

ps - I think these little speakers, maybe in similar ways to people's attachment to Kans, do some things very very well. The high frequency driver (different and, in a different league all-together, than the subsequent one used in the Optimus LX5 by Radio Shack) is quite special to my ears. The speaker gives nothing below 65-70 hz but tuneful to it's lower limits. But like the TC-50's (and apparently the revered Kans) they make music .... and Fremer panned them in the Absolute Sound '92, so they must be decent. Markwell did a follow up using them with a Janis subwoofer and spent nearly the whole "review" talking about the bass (of the Linaeum?).
