RandomTask Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the direction of replacement parts for the jumpers that would have come with my Klipsch F-3 speakers. I have upgraded my set and would like to have a solution for whoever may buy them off of me if they are not able to wire them for bi-amp. I imagine that cutting short wires and bridging them would not be ideal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Using short pieces of quality wire works fine, just make sure all the strands stay in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people throw the metal pieces away and use a 3" piece of wire with spade connectors to connect them. I have all my speakers with dual posts set up that way.

dmb12679 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I just removed my brass jumpers and cut some 12 guage wire at 3.5" long, stripping 1/2" of each end and this is how it turned out. 12 gauge is about as large as you can go for wire, at least with my 7ii's and 64ii. It was tight fitting it through the hole in the binding post, also with as stiff as it is it was a little time consuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmb12679 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Klipsch jumpers are fine, copper is better than brass. No audible difference IMO, just something to mess with that in theory is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a presumption that bi-wiring speakers is useless, but Klipsch provides the means to do that as well. I pass no judgement on either count. The original intent of the thread was to find replacement jumpers for Klipsch. I was simply passing along what I've read, that using wire jumpers is a perfectly acceptable alternative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltfaul Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi, I'm very new to this forum but having researched patiently on the subject of stock metal jumpers vs stranded ones, I suppose this article coming from a reliable source should settle the question. Please note the use of words, e.g. the difference between 'bi-wiring' and bi-amping' and the rest of the writer's opinions. Thanks, regards Max https://support.klipsch.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046297811-Why-Are-There-4-Input-Terminals- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
