  Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound?
I'm presently using Reality Cables and for the first time I'm using jumpers on my Tyler Sigs.
I had a run of Kimber 4TC from a previous system lying around which I took to a local audio store and had jumpers made.
Would a "better" jumper cable equate to better sound?

Clio09, check your specs again. That doesn't sound possible. The 3kHz sounds right, but I can't imagine that you'd have another crossover point up higher in the treble. I'd expect to see the second crossover point between the midrange and woofer at something like 300 hz.
